What requirements are essential to consider the use of a helmet correct and safe?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The helmet is the most important passive safety element for two-wheeled vehicle riders. For it to fulfill its life-saving function, regulations and road safety standards require two things: 1) It must be the correct size and be well-fitted to the head (without wobbling). 2) The retention strap must always be fastened and tightened under the chin. If worn unfastened or too loose, in the event of an impact, the helmet will be ejected before the head hits the ground, nullifying its protection. Remember: riding with an unfastened helmet carries the same penalty as not wearing one at all.
