PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
HELMET USE
This helmet is intended only for pedal cyclists, skateboarders, rollerskaters, or in-line
skating. It is not designed for motor vehicle use or other sports. This helmet is certified
to EN 1078.
LIMITED IMPACT PROTECTION
Helmets reduce or prevent many injuries. But, impact forces, even in a common low
speed accident, can result in serious injury or death. Energy absorbing materials used
in helmets crush on impact. Sometimes, the blow can crush the material completely.
When this happens some of the force is transferred to the head. If the force is great
enough it can cause injury or death. Because every accident is different, it's impossible
to predict when this might happen. Any helmet subjected to a severe impact should be
discarded and destroyed.
HELMETS CAN'T PREVENT ALL HEAD INJURIES
Some head injuries are not caused by impacts at all, but by other forces. You can
scramble an egg just by shaking it. You don't have to break the shell to destroy the con-
tents. Helmets cannot prevent this type of injury.
HELMETS CAN'T PROTECT WHAT THEY DON'T COVER
The helmet will not protect the neck or any area of the head it doesn't cover. Always
wear a helmet low in the front to protect the forehead. Make sure the helmet fits snugly
and the straps are adjusted to hold the helmet firmly in place when tightly fastened.
YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS:
1 Wear your helmet low in the front
to protect the forehead.
2 Fasten your buckle and tighten your
chin strap.
3 Check your adjustments every time
you wear your helmet.
4 Inspect your helmet regularly for
signs of wear or damage.
5 Replace your helmet immediately if
it shows any visible signs of
wear or damage. Helmets have a

dent, even if no damage is visible.
