Helmet Safety

No one should ride a bicycle, skateboard, scooter, or inline skate without properly wearing a helmet. An approved helmet can greatly reduce the risk of permanent injury or death in the event of a fall or a crash. A helmet works by absorbing the forces of a crash.
The best helmet is one that fits properly, is worn correctly and meets approved safety standards such as CSA, Snell, ANSI, ASTM, BSI and SAA.
