Today, July 12, marks the 5th annual Riders4Helmets International Helmet Awareness Day (IHAD). Once again, Riders4helmets has teamed up with leading manufactures to offer special discounts on safety headgear. Hundreds of retailers in Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Switzerland, and the United States, are joining in the cause.

The Riders4Helmets campaign was founded as a direct result of dressage Olympian Courtney King-Dye’s accident from which she suffered brain injury and left her in a coma for several weeks. She was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, and is still undergoing rehabilitation.

“The impact that Riders4Helmets is making makes my struggle worthwhile,” said King-Dye, who advocates for helmet safety in partnership with Riders4Helmets. “It’s educating people to not make the same mistake that I did.”
