U.S. Rep. Jim Himes and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, both Connecticut Democrats, were in Darien this morning to announce the upcoming Senate introduction of the Christen O'Donnell Equestrian Helmet Safety Act, which would require all equestrian helmets manufactured and sold in the United States to meet certain safety standards. Himes introduced the bill in the House of Representatives in April this year in honor of Christen O' Donnell, a 12-year-old Darien girl who passed away after being thrown from her horse while wearing a hat that appeared to be a helmet, but did not actually meet proper safety standards.
