About This Item

Jeep- White THX4TC

I know of a person that was riding a bicycle and decided to ignore a stop sign. Little did the person know that a bus was coming down the hill. The person was hit and didn't have a helmet on. Luckly she survived but there were some consequences. So where a helmet.

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.

I know how important it is to use a helmet! I was in a bike accident on my 20th birthday, and instead of having a big party I spent a night at the observation room in the ER... I was lucky and didnt get any headinjuries, but now I use a HELMET!!
Will bring you to Norway!
