When I seen this subject I just had to post a comment. My husband has told me numerous times he was going to buy me a helmet to have when I run.

Why you ask? Well when I run in the trails I have a tendancey to fall... alot. Heck I have even fallen when I'm just out on the road. But the last time I fell in the trails was the topper for why I need a helmet. When I tripped over a rock or stump, as I was falling, I head butted a tree. Yes there it is... it hurt, and I seen stars for a while, tore up my knee real bad along with my head. My husband asked "Where are your hands as you are falling?" I have no idea, I think I need some falling classes

Any way I did get up and finish my run, bloody knee, headache and all.
