Hmmm.... shouldnt the Queen really be setting a better example?

When the Queen started riding, a headscarf was just about as much protection as the hats available, especially as it stayed on when you fell off, which hats often didn't. For State occasions, when she rode, she wore uniform. So she has been used to not wearing a hard hat for most of her life and I doubt if any-one could persuade her to now. It certainly isn't easy to persuade any-one in their eighties to take safety precautions that they are not used to, as I'm sure those of us with elderly relatives can testify.
I hope I can enjoy riding when I'm 85.
 
Anyone who can fund their own healthcare for the rest of their life, is welcome to not wear a hat, anyone who will be relying on the National Health Service and Social Care funding should minimize the risk of costing the rest of us a fortune for their care. Having said that my elderly father will not change the practices of a life time and so has removed the guard from his angle grinder and never wears safety goggles :eek:
