"My sport horse was spooked by a flock of birds. I was thrown and caught his knee to the back of my head. I was hospitalized in trauma ICU with a brain bleed. Released after 2 days and I am recovering. When I returned home and took my helmet apart I found a 4 inch long crack in the inside, presumably where his knee hit my skull. When I saw that I became so grateful I invested in what I now know saved my life. I will be reordering a new Charles Owen. Thank you for making such a quality product."

"I had a rotational fall which resulted in some serious facial injuries, a fractured sternum and a fractured hand. Today I was discharged from hospital, I was reunited with my horse and my hat which I have just discovered saved my life (without doubt). You do an amazing job and your incredible technology makes my job as a paramedic (when I’m at work and not off sick with a broken sternum) so much easier by giving people’s heads the best chance."

"I just want to say thank you so much for the safety of this hat. My little girl had her Charles Owen helmet on when at a show with her pony. Freak accident and pony reared up and flipped over with little one top and hat saved her so thank you so much and what a life saver will need to get another one and will definitely be a new Charles Owen."

"I was thrown from my horse. It was an awful, very heavy fall resulting in fractures to my neck and upper back. Now I'm on the slow road to recovery. I recall the fall and know that I flew headfirst onto the ground. It was my head that took the full impact of the fall. Despite this I did not lose consciousness nor was I concussed. I am certain that your hat saved me from much more catastrophic injury. I therefore wanted to thank you all at Charles Owen for all you have done to protect riders and improve safety. Your work is invaluable!"
