WARNING! No helmet can protect
the wearer from all foreseeable
high or low speed impacts. However, for
maximum protection, the helmet must be

an accident, resulting in severe head
injury or death.

When trying a brand new helmet, make
sure that your head is pushed into the
helmet as far as possible, with the front
part just above your eyebrows, and with
the chin strap securely fastened as des-
