 Great photos!!!  Obviously you didn't hurt yourself when you fell--but
 that is so scary that your helmet was totalled!  Thank goodness you
 had it on!

.  as soon as I get a good pic of my busted helmet


Janice I am happy for the good part of your day - that had to be fun.

Would you and anyone lese that has pic of a busted helmet from a fall,
please send me a copy.  I am doing a talk for the local 4-H club next
month on helemet wearing and safety and would love some pics to show.
I want to make as big an impact as I can.  If I can just get a few of
these kids to wear a helmet that ordinarily wouldn't I will have done
a good days work.

 They say helmets are ALLOWED but I want them REQUIRED!  before someone
 is killed

There's a group out of Denver, kids, called the Westernaires. I call
them the Worsternaires. They perform, do the rodeo circuit, w/ some
truly maniacal riding--full-out gallop, weaving in and out, doing
figure 8's, going over jumps, trick riding, etc etc., sometimes w/ all
the lights out except for carried torches and/or teeny little lights
on their tack.  Not a single helmet, ever.  Several kids have been
killed over the years, surprisingly not more than that.  No way would
I ever let my kid ride like that, esp. w/ no helmet.
