Hi Rick.
In New Mexico, some MSAR units do require members to wear helmets;
others do not. New Mexico has a statewide certification for SAR
field team members. It does not require a helmet for anyone. But
the view is growing that everyone involved in technical rescue
should wear a helmet, and anyone helping to carry a litter should
wear one too.
