Advanced Helmet Safety Tips for Horse Riders: A Guide from Cameo™ Fence
As experienced horse lovers, you're likely familiar with the basics of helmet safety, but there are some lesser-known tips that can significantly enhance both protection and the longevity of your riding helmets. At Cameo™, we believe in safety for both you and your horses, and that starts with being well-informed.
Here are some advanced helmet safety tips to keep you and your family protected:
1. Helmet Expiration
Did you know that helmets should be replaced every five years? Even if they look perfectly fine, the materials inside helmets degrade over time. This wear and tear can affect their ability to protect you in case of an accident, making timely replacement essential for your safety.
2. Proper Storage
Where you store your helmet matters. Helmets should always be kept in cool, dry places and away from direct sunlight. Heat and moisture can cause the materials to break down more quickly, reducing the helmet's effectiveness over time.
3. Post-Fall Inspection
If you’ve experienced a fall, it’s critical to inspect your helmet right away. Even if there are no visible cracks or dents, the helmet could still be compromised. Internal damage may affect its ability to protect your head in future incidents, so always check carefully and replace when in doubt.
4. Seasonal Adjustments
Changes in weather can alter the fit of your helmet. During hot weather, for example, your helmet might feel looser as the materials expand. Make sure to check the fit of your helmet during seasonal transitions to ensure it remains snug and comfortable at all times.
