Helmet Safety


A couple things on helmet safety--Be Smart don't take a chance with your head:

1. You want to make sure that your helmet is secure. You should only be able to fit two fingers horizontally between your chin strap and your chin.

2. When you shake your head "yes" and "no" your helmet should not shift or move on your head.

3. Your helmet should lay of your head centered on your head (see images above).

4. If your helmet is cracked or has been compromised (i.e. slammed in a car door or drop heavily on the ground) you want to replace it. Helmets are made to crack during in pact absorbing shock.

5. You should replace your helmet every couple of years.
