Helmets
1.
One crash kills most helmets. That Styrofoam
layer between the shell and your head is your best friend. The expanded
polystyrene (Styrofoam) crushes under impact to give your head approximately
6/100ths of a second extra stopping time. That 6/100ths of a second can be the
difference between you getting back up and riding off and having to relearn the
alphabet. The foam also distributes the point of impact over a larger area.
2.
Proper Fit
Your helmet should neither dig into your
scalp nor flop around. The better the fit the more protection you will have. To
ensure proper adjustment start with the interior pads. Most are held in place
with adhesive or hook and loop strips, which can be added or removed to
customize fit or to wash when they get dirty. Next adjust the straps so that
each V-buckle is positioned right below your ears, then cinch the main buckle so
two fingers barely fit between your chin and the strap. To make sure the helmet
is fitting correctly push the front of your helmet up. If it moves more than 1
inch, tighten the chin straps. Repeat with the back adjustment.
