One of the advantages of using polycarbonate for the outer shell is the fact that it offers great
freedom in the graphic design and colours used for its surface finish. But this flexibility also
means that it is difficult to maintain an identical colour in successive production runs.
So the finished helmets may show slight chromatic variations.
Of course, once we have defined the desired hue, we do everything possible to ensure that it
remains the same, as far as is possible, from batch to batch.
Using the helmet
It is important that you
wear your helmet correctly.
For safety, it should always fit snugly, and the
strap
should be
tightly fastened
.
A helmet will never be able to guarantee total protection for the head when subject to the forces produced by
whatever type of impact. However this is no excuse to forego wearing a helmet. You should
always wear your
helmet,
in order to exploit the protection that it provides, whatever impact may occur.
4 things that you should never forget
1.
Before using the helmet,
read all the instructions, and follow the suggestions carefully to ensure a
correct fit.
2.
Do not use the helmet without fastening the strap.
An unfastened helmet will fall off during the first
impact, leaving the head defenceless for successive impacts. There is also the risk of it falling off
during flight.
3.
Do not
fasten the helmet
using just the velcro.
The velcro that may be present on the strap serves
purely to stop it flapping in the wind.
4.
To ensure maximum performance,
never modify your helmet
, whatever the circumstances.
In case of accident
If the accident happens to you:
o
The inner shell will be deformed – though the deformation may not be visible to the naked
eye – because it has absorbed the impact.
o
After an accident, even if the impact was minor, the helmet should be replaced,
regardless of whether there is visible damage or not.
If you
witness an accident
:
o
Keep calm.
o
Report the accident immediately, if possible by phoning for an ambulance (dial 118 in Italy).
Only medically-qualified personnel know exactly how to deal with injuries.
o
Never move an injured person, unless this is absolutely essential because of a situation of
greater danger. If the spinal column has been fractured, moving the injured person could
damage the spinal cord, causing permanent paralysis.
o
If the victim is wearing a helmet, do not remove it, but open the visor to facilitate breathing.
o
Keep the victim calm, and, if possible, cover him. Shock provokes shivering and a sensation
of cold.
o
Do not give the victim alcoholic drinks.
o
Stem the flow of blood from wounds, protecting your hands with gloves or similar, throwing
them away later if they have been soiled with blood. Do not apply tourniquets: if you place a
tourniquet in the wrong position, you could worsen the situation.
o
Never put the victim into a private car. Wait for the ambulance. If the victim is conscious, talk
to him or her and try to calm him or her down.
