IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT
If you are involved in the accident.
The helmet has probably saved your life. The internal shell, even though it is not visible, will be deformed
because it has absorbed the impact.
Keep your old helmet amongst your most treasured possessions and buy a new one. A helmet must always
be replaced after an accident.
If you witness an accident.
First of all, keep calm. Warn oncoming cars immediately of the accident by placing a helmet on the road,
using a fluorescent suit, the motorbike's flashing indicator lights ..... Then ask for an ambulance: only the
ambulance attendants know how to treat an injury. In the meantime, follow these simple regulations that are
common sense:
•
Do not under any circumstance move the injured person (unless there are risks of even greater
danger, for example of being run over by an oncoming car, or being involved in a fire): moving the
injured person, if they have a spine injury, could mean damaging the spinal cord and paralysing
them for the rest of their life.
•
If the person is wearing a helmet, do not remove it, but open the visor to help them breathe more
easily.
•
Keep the person calm and cover them if possible: shock causes trembling and cold. Do not give
them alcohol to drink.
•
Plug any wounds that are bleeding heavily protecting the hands with gloves or in other ways and
then take care to throw the gloves away if they are covered in blood. Do not use tourniquets: if you
place them in the wrong position, you could cause a more serious haemorrhage.
•
Do not under any circumstance put the injured person in a car; wait for the ambulance. If the person
is conscious, talk to them and keep them calm.
STANDARD APPROVAL LABEL
The ECE label shows:
•
the international standard approval mark consisting of a circle with the letter E inside followed by the
number identifying the country that issued the approval (1 = Germany, 2 = France, 3 = Italy, 4 =
Holland, etc.);
•
a first series of numbers "0452719" that corresponds to the details of the standard approval, the first
two numbers of this series "04" (in the future 05, 06 ...) indicate the series of amendments to
Regulation 22 according to which the helmet approval was granted;
•
a second series of numbers "009607" that corresponds to the production serial number.
