Prevention
Helmet
Your helmet is the most important piece of protective gear for safe
riding. A helmet can prevent a severe head injury. There are several
types of helmets on the market, but make sure you wear a helmet that
complies with the ECE standards.
These helmets should provide full-face protection.
If you drop or damage your helmet, get a
new one immediately. Your helmet may
not protect your head from injury if it has
cracks, fissures, or other damage to its
outside or core padding.
Remember, your helmet wonít do you any
good if the chin strap isnít fastened.
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection, such as goggles, to completely surround your
eyes to prevent getting dirt or other items in your eyes. Do not depend
on sunglasses for proper eye protection. Sunglasses are not
recommended; they donít prevent objects from flying in through the
sides.
Long Pants and Long Sleeved Shirt
The goal is to protect your body from branches, long grass, airborne
objects, or anything else that could scrape your skin. The more thick
and durable the material, the better protection itíll provide. Riding
!
pants with kneepads, a jersey, and shoulder pads provide the best WARNING
protection.
