A good motorcycle helmet is the foundation of safety. It will not only help you avoid problems and will reliably protect your head in the event of a fall.
Instructions
Step 1
According to statistics, the highest fatality rate in accidents occurs due to head injuries, so the better your helmet is made, the more reliable it will protect your head. Any helmet must be purchased from a specialized store. In this case, the helmet must have a mandatory certificate of conformity.
Step 2
Before buying a helmet, you need to decide on its shape. Open helmets, as well as "three-quarter" helmets, leave an open face, thereby providing a minimum of safety. If you want to have whole teeth, jaws and nose, then it is better to refuse such a design.
Step 3
Cross helmets are considered safer. They cover the face well, have good ventilation. To protect your eyes, you must use special goggles (they resemble goggles for alpine skiing or snowboarding).
Step 4
The most reliable are integral helmets, which cover the entire head. They provide good aerodynamics and excellent sound insulation. Such helmets must have good ventilation, otherwise they will be uncomfortable in hot weather.
Step 5
Also on sale are modulator helmets. These are the same integrals, but with the possibility of raising the upper "jaw" up in order to be able to open the face. According to many motorcyclists, they are the most convenient option.
Step 6
In order for the helmet to provide the greatest safety, it is necessary to select it correctly in size. The helmet should fit snugly and there should be no pressure sensation on the head. If the helmet dangles or you can safely remove it with one hand, then this helmet is too big for you, you need to try on a smaller size.
Step 7
The helmet strap should fit snugly around the chin without pinching the neck.
Step 8
Take your time to buy the helmet you like. Walk around in it for a while, listen to your feelings - you shouldn't be uncomfortable. Also pay attention to the inner lining and ventilation - you should not be hot in the helmet.
Step 9
If you wear glasses, be sure to try them on with your helmet.
Step 10
It is necessary to remove the helmet as follows. Unfasten the chin strap, forcefully spread the ends to the side and pull the helmet off your head.
Step 11
Wear a helmet every time you get on a motorcycle, because the danger of falling can arise not only on the track, but also within your own garage.
