We all know we are taught to wear helmets. Although, some people don't wear helmets all the time that they ride.
Examples of riding without a helmet.
Some people who don't wear helmets say it makes their head hot, it's unstylish, or it gives me helmet hair. These people do not know what can happen if they get in an accident.

Courtney King Dye is an astonishing rider who was at the Beijing Olympics. 3 years ago, Courtney suffered a traumatic brain injury due to her horse that slipped and fell on top of her; thing is, she was not wearing a helmet. Although she has suffered from her injury, she is still striving for recovery with speech therapy, occupational and physical therapy. But, her financial coverage for her speech therapy was cut off. She is grateful that Lendon Gray and another person whose name I believe is Blythe Clark, ( I can't understand Courtney clearly from the video) who started a fund to help cover her medical costs.
Please raise awareness for those you see who ride without helmets. Show them this video of Courtney and tell them "This could be you if you keep riding without a helmet."
Our brain is the most important aspect of our body. It is fragile to injury and needs to be protected.
