If you are not familiar with how a helmet should fit and feel, be sure to
ask for assistance from a more experienced rider, or the retail store
where you purchased your helmet. As a rule, the helmet should not
be able to move around on your head without pulling on your skin. A
loose fitting helmet is not only dangerous, but may also be noisy and
tiring to wear. Most people make the mistake of buying a helmet that's
too large. IMPORTANT: Make sure that you fasten the chinstrap securely
beneath your chin when trying-on a helmet and then test to see that
the helmet cannot be removed from your head when fastened in that
manner. The helmet must not be so loose that it can rotate freely front
or back so that it could be removed with the chinstrap fastened
No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible or foreseeable
impacts. A helmet can only protect the portion of the head that is
covered by the helmet. For maximum protection, the helmet must be
well fitted with the chinstrap securely fastened. Failure to follow these
instructions, the instructions printed on the helmet, and those contained
in the owner's manual may result in the possibility of the helmet com-
ing off during an accident - possibly resulting in a severe head injury or
even death. While riding motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and snowmobiles
is fun, it can also be a dangerous pastime. At AFX, we encourage you
to enjoy riding responsibly, and to always ride within the limits of your
abilities.
