How must the helmet retention strap be worn for the helmet to offer effective protection?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The helmet is the most important passive safety element for motorcycle and moped riders. To ensure its effectiveness, regulations and road safety experts insist that the retention strap must always be correctly fastened and adjusted to the chin (without slack). If worn unfastened or poorly adjusted, the helmet will immediately fly off in the event of a collision or sudden fall, leaving the head completely exposed to serious injury. There are no exceptions for urban areas or short trips.
