Why is it highly advisable to use a full-face helmet when riding a moped?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The full-face helmet is the safest and most effective passive safety element for riders of two-wheeled vehicles. Being made of a single rigid piece, it fully envelops the head and safeguards areas especially exposed to serious frontal impacts, such as the jaw, chin and face. Unlike open-face ('jet') helmets, the full-face helmet drastically reduces maxillofacial injuries. It is completely false that it causes suffocation or that it must be avoided in summer; properly approved helmets have ventilation systems that guarantee airflow and adequate thermal comfort at any time of year.
