Beschrijving
Horse riding hat involved in an accident. The horse bucked the rider, who fell head first into the farm track, but the riding helmet protected the rider's head. The high density expanded polystyrene layer absorbed the impact and is cracked. Helmets involved in falls should be replaced. The rider was assessed for a potential head injury, but her head is fine and she has made a swift recovery. This HaloRider hat was made by Horze, and tested by TUV Rheinland.
