This document is the owner's manual for a bicycle helmet, manufactured by Giant and Liv. It provides essential information regarding the helmet's function, proper usage, safety warnings, limited impact protection, and maintenance.
The primary function of this bicycle helmet is to provide protection against head injuries during normal bicycling activities. It is designed to absorb shock through the partial destruction of its shell and liner upon impact, thereby reducing the force transferred to the wearer's head. The helmet is intended for use by pedal cyclists and users of skateboards and roller skates, complying with EU 2016/425 EN1078:2012+A1 standards. It is crucial to understand that while the helmet offers limited impact protection, it cannot protect against all possible impacts or types of head injuries, particularly those resulting from severe back-and-forth shaking rather than direct impact. The helmet's effectiveness is contingent upon proper fit, adjustment, and wear.
The manual does not detail specific technical specifications such as materials used (e.g., EPS foam, polycarbonate shell), weight, or ventilation design. However, it does state that the helmet's design incorporates energy-absorbing materials intended to crush on impact. It also mentions that helmet materials are shown to perform beyond a 5-year suggested life in normal use, implying a certain level of material durability and stability over time. The helmet's compliance with EU 2016/425 EN1078:2012+A1 standards indicates it meets specific European safety requirements for impact absorption, retention system strength, and field of vision. The testing was conducted by ACT lab LLC, and the notified bodies are Telefication B.V. #0560 and SGS United Kingdom Ltd (Notified body No.:0120).
