G'Day,

Thanks for drawing attention to the story it wasn't all that widely
published over here and it does support the need for helmets. We were
leading a couple of trips last Sunday and decided after debate to avoid a
surf landing because of lack of helmets. I always wear a PFD but don't
always wear a helmet for surf - this sad story will ensure that I do in
future.

All the best, PeterO
