Abstract des Autors
Head injuries are the most frequent and most severe of all injuries in equestrian sports. It has been estimated that head injuries make up approximately 20 of all horse-related injuries. They can be prevented or their severity can be reduced by wearing properly fitted and secured headgear. A good helmet must be secured from loss, protect the head from the impact or compression of a fall, and resist penetration. The author recommends that the medical community continue to work to make the most protective riding helmet acceptable to the equestrian community. Verf.-Referat
