"I started wearing Ribcap protective headwear after a traumatic fall down a full flight of stairs inside my former home. Though I fell down thirteen steps in total, I only fractured my lower spine. I knew I was very lucky indeed to have not sustained worse injuries and the fall made me reassess my condition (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Joint Hypermobilty hEDS), where I lived and also what risk mitigation I could put in place in my life that still fitted into my lifestyle."

"I began to wear my body bracing more regularly, I moved to a new farm with a one level, accessible house and I proudly starting wearing my Ribcap protective headwear."

"When wearing my Ribcap helmet, not one person has ever asked me if I’m wearing protective headwear, even when I have the straps done up! I’m a real lover of hats and millinery and everyone just thinks it’s just another one of my hats."

"I have three styles of Ribcap protective helmets: I have a protective cap, a protective beanie and the latest addition is the cute bucket style hat named ‘Billie’. I know I shouldn’t have favourites, but Billie is my favourite. It’s just so cute and goes with so many different styles of outfit."
