Introduction
Head protection is a complicated subject which cannot be fully discussed in this owner’s manual. Regardless,
before your first ride, you should read this owner’s manual carefully for important information about your helmet.
You should also store this manual in a place where you can retrieve it for periodic review or if any questions
arise. You should not use your new helmet until you have read and fully understand the contents of this manual.
About Some of the Limits of Your Helmet
Your Bell motorcycle helmet is designed to reduce or prevent certain injuries, and studies show you are better off in
an accident if you are wearing a helmet than if you are not. Regardless, a motorcycle helmet cannot protect against
all foreseeable impacts or injuries. For example, your helmet cannot protect against spinal injuries, neck injuries,
or any portion of the body it does not cover. In addition, it may not protect against injuries to areas the helmet does
cover. For example, your helmet is made of energy absorbing materials which may or may not crush depending
upon the impact. Sometimes the force of the impact is such that there is no crush, and sometimes the force of
the impact is such that the material crushes completely, in either case at least some of the force of the impact is
transmitted to the head and brain, and permanent injury or death may result. In addition, some head injuries are not
caused by impacts. They are caused by other forces, like scrambling an egg just by shaking it. You do not have to
destroy the shell to destroy the contents. Helmets cannot prevent this type of injury. Because of the wide variety of
accident scenarios, it is impossible to tell when your helmet will or will not protect against injury or death.
