Linda rides like a monkey humping a football. She should wear a helmet when she jumps because she has no level of expertise to save her, all she has is dumb luck. But even if she doesn't wear a helmet she should not be telling people not to wear a helmet. I don't wear a helmet, and I don't think it's necessary to always wear a helmet, but I also don't think it's my business to tell anyone that there is not a reason to or that they should not.

Not wearing a helmet yourself is one thing, that is your choice. Telling people that they have no need to wear a helmet because only people that have badly behaved horses will get hurt riding is fucking moronic and deserves to be mocked, sneered at, and belittled.


That's it in a nutshell. I've never hit my head after being "bucked off" a horse, either. I've only been bucked off 2 or 3 times. However, I've had horses fall sideways, rear and fall over backwards, spook violently, and stop dirty at fences. THAT'S when I've hit my head.
