D. CHOOSING THE CORRECT HELMET
Step 4: With the helmet on your head, grip the chin section
and try to push it backwards and off your head. If you
can do so, the helmet is too small (or the chin strap is
not fastened tightly enough). For your own safety, try a
smaller size and/or readjust the chin strap.
Step 5: With the helmet on your head, grasp the rear edge of the
helmet with both hands and try to pull it forward over
your head. If the helmet can be pulled from your head
in this way then either the chin strap is too loose or the
helmet is too large. Readjust the chin strap; if this does
not help, select a smaller helmet size.
Repeat these steps with different helmet sizes until you fi nd the
size suitable for you. Ideally you should take a test ride to check
that you have chosen correctly.
Warning: Never ride with a helmet that does not fi t
properly.
