When all is said and done I know that many of us will pay attention to the research and documentation that supports helmets as important accessories to staying alive and well while mounted. There will
always be some who don't believe the research, or who feel their own experiences outweigh the experts and their research. To those folks I wish you well in life and I hope you never have reason to regret your decision not to wear a helmet.

All kidding and SPECIFICALLY helmets aside, as horsemen out there....what type of protection are you wearing to protect your NECK. (you know that thing between your shoulders that attaches to your head).. If you have a manufactured peice of equipment or something you are in invention of yourself, specifically made for protecting your neck when you ride please advise. I am not interested in hearing any conversation on a helmet on this.
This is entirely a different issue than helmet discussion.
You may think this is a joke, but this is totally serious. Spinal cord injuries involving
the neck are seriously painful and can also be deadly if not result you end up in a wheelchair or worse. And the neck can take a hit without the head ever cracking the ground.. so let's hear it.
Thank you.
