Hövding contains sensitive parts and should
GB
be handled with care. Keep out of the reach of
children.
Ensure that your Hövding is switched off when

Hövding cannot guarantee absolute protection
against all sharp objects.
Hövding only reacts and is inflated if the cyclist
makes an abnormal movement in an accident. The
airbag in Hövding is fully inflated in roughly one
tenth of a second (0.1 second). A head impact that
occurs before Hövding has reacted and is fully
inflated, is called a direct hit.
Examples of direct hits include an icicle falling
onto a cyclist's head or a cyclist riding into a
branch at head height. However, direct hits are a
very unusual category of cycling accident.
NO bicycle helmet can protect you against all
types of cycling accident. In a collision with a
motor vehicle, the speed at impact is always a
factor that limits the protection a bicycle helmet
can provide. At higher speeds, the risk of direct
hits increases, and of the cyclist suffering internal
injuries against which a bicycle helmet offers no
protection.
