STEP 1: POSITION THE HELMET
CORRECT INCORRECT
1.1
FIG. 1.1
A helmet should fit snugly without being uncomfortably
tight. Position the helmet on your head as shown in Fig. 1.1
(CORRECT) so it sits low on your forehead, but not too low
so that it obstructs your field of vision. Fig. 1.1 (INCORRECT)
shows a helmet rotated too far back exposing the rider’s
forehead. Always wear your helmet low in the front and in a
level position to protect the forehead as this area is most likely
to be impacted in a crash.
WARNING! Any strap adjustments made with the
helmet improperly positioned will result in a poor fit,
which could reduce the effectiveness of the helmet
and even result in the helmet moving out of position
or coming off in an accident.
STEP 2: RETENTION SYSTEM
WARNING! Adjusting and tightening the retention
system is extremely important for your safety. If
the chin strap is not tight enough or not positioned
correctly under the chin, the helmet may come
off during an accident which may leave your head
unprotected in an impact.
