Warning:
No helmet is as safe as riding safely!
Motorcycle riding has certain personal hazards. The risks that
are being taken by riding a motorcycle can be reduced but not
eliminated by wearing a helmet. There are numerous variations
in accidents; the protective capability of a helmet is difficult to
measure at the time of purchase.
Warning:
No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable
impacts!
There are limits to the physical size and weight of the helmet a
person is willing to wear. The ability of a helmet to protect the
wearer is limited. No helmet can protect the wearer against all
foreseeable high speed and low speed impacts.
Warning:
Use only a helmet that fits snugly all around your head.
Fasten the chin strap securely under your chin before closing and
locking the chin section securely.
A helmet can provide protection only to the extent that your head
is covered with the helmet and the chin section respectively. The
use of a properly fitted, securely fastened helmet can lessen the
risk of death or permanent impairment due to head injury.
For maximum head protection, the helmet must be properly fitted
and should provide adequate peripheral vision. The retention
system must be securely fastened under the chin. Failure to have
a proper fit and to securely fasten the helmet is dangerous as
the helmet could come off in an accident resulting in severe head
injury or death. For detailed information regarding proper fit, see
section D.
