I don't want to throw it in the landfill, help?
I have an old, used motorcycle helmet I need to get rid of. Is any one interested. It's 2 years old, and as I said, used so it would not be considered safe to use for riding. I was hoping it could be used by someone that works in training paramedics, fire fighters, police, or any organisation that would need to practice removing such things to help injured people. Or even if you are a teacheer that could use it to demonstrate safety principals to students. Or something like that. If you have any ideas let me know.[:)][?][:)]
thanx

Gald you have an offer to take this, it is worth joining hertford Freegle it is a great way to contact people who can use things like that and save them going to landfil.

This is an interesting topic. I have out of date riding hats (now have a higher standard) and they cannot and should not be used again as their protection is dubious, but again it would be good to know if there is anyone/organisation that I could trust to NOT sell them as they are not fit for purpose...

With regard to the riding helmets, while removal of them isn't part of our syllabus so to speak, I'm sure we could put a small number to good use in aspects of our training.
Feel free to drop any spares into Hertford and say they're for Brad Smith - I'll make sure we use them!
Thanks for the offer.
Best regards,
Brad.

Just a quick note to say thanks to the original poster for dropping off their spare helmet today. We'll definitely put it to good use in the Red Cross.
Regards,
Brad
