mWARNING!
The helmet chin strap must be securely fastened and snug under your chin and against your throat or the
helmet may not stay on in an accident. If the helmet does not stay on, serious injury or death may result.
mWARNING!
Do not use a chin cup or wear the strap on the point of the chin. If the chin strap is not in the proper
position or used properly, the helmet may not stay in position or may come off. Serious personal injury or
death may result.
Proper Fit
In order to work right, your helmet must fit right. If your helmet does not fit right, it may come off in an
accident, in which case it will not provide any protection. Because many motorcyclists are killed each
year when their helmets do not stay on in an accident, do not wear a motorcycle helmet that does not
fit right. If the helmet does not fit right, do not wear it. Bell manufactures helmets of different sizes, and
should have a helmet to fit your head.
This section is very important: your helmet must be snug on all areas of your head and must
be comfortable.. Here are two good tests the helmet must pass:
1. Fasten the chin strap under your chin so it is snug with your mouth closed and uncomfortable to open
your mouth. Grab the helmet with both hands and try to move the helmet forward and backward and from
side to side. The helmet does not fit right if your skin does not move with the liner of the helmet.
