1. ABOUT THE LIMITS OF YOUR HELMET
The function of a bicycle helmet is to reduce the risk of a
head injury in an accident by absorbing the localized force
of an impact and distributing it over a larger area on the
helmet. Your helmet will not protect against injury in all
types of accidents. Because every accident scenario is
different, it is impossible to know whether use of a helmet
will provide partial or complete protection. Depending on
the type of impact, even low speed accidents may result in
serious head injury or death. However, studies have shown
that you are better off with a helmet than without one.
Always ride within your capabilities, exercise good care and
judgment, and follow local traffic laws.
A bicycle helmet does not protect what it does not cover,
and as noted, it may not protect what it does cover. A bicycle
helmet will not protect against injuries to the spine, neck,
or face.
