We often receive stories about how one of our helmets helped save a rider from injury. As a company dedicated to rider safety, we hope you will read these accounts and make sure you always wear yours. Remember, if you do experience a fall involving your helmet, even if it looks like there’s no damage, be sure to replace your helmet before your next ride (our accident replacement policy). There could be unseen damage that could reduce the effectiveness of the helmet.
"I just bought my One K Helmets defender air in March. I had to write a review because I had a pretty bad fall today and landed directly on my head. My helmet did not shift at all! I was taken to the hospital for a CT scan of my head and neck X-ray. Thanks to my One K helmet my cat scan was normal!” – Rachel Elizabeth
“Thank you One K Helmets for keeping my noggin safe ????. I had a freak accident unloading my horse off the trailer today. Thank god I still had my helmet on” – Abby Stafford.
“I am so thankful for my One K! I was riding my dressage horse yesterday when he tripped and stumbled all the way to the ground. I have a sore shoulder and a scratched face, but my helmet saved me! Thank you.” – Cathy Shore Hoysa.
“I wanted to give a big thank you to One K Helmets for protecting my head when I parted ways with a horse last week. I basically did a backward lawn dart with the back of my head and top of my shoulders taking all of the force of the impact (hence the broken collarbone). This was one of my favorite helmets, but sadly it now will be retired as it did its job absorbing the impact and protecting my noggin. Remember to replace your helmet after a fall even if it looks fine! Mine cleaned up perfectly. Thank you One K Helmets!!” – Kim Gentry Dressage.
“A huge thank you to One K Helmets for designing the Defender. The steel mesh bent, the helmet is dented, but my daughter is whole. A new one is on the way” – Mary Maset (Isabella’s mother)
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for engineering such a wonderful & safe helmet. Yesterday afternoon, our daughter Mikayla went out on a quick trail ride to cool off her horse, and he spooked, catching her off guard and she fell off. She hit the hard dirt & we are fairly certain she was knocked unconscious briefly. She was transported to our local ER where they concurred she had sustained a concussion. What is amazing is just over a year ago she sustained another concussion (not in a riding accident), that was quite severe. Thankfully your helmet protected her so well yesterday, that this concussion is mild – which is so incredible because once someone has a concussion, receiving any other concussions can be so dangerous and severe. But she is safe, she is home and she will ride again soon! When she is able to ride again, you can bet that on her pretty little head will be a One K Helmets!!
Thank you again from this blessed and happy momma!” – Kati Horvath
