WARNING! Like all helmets, after a violent impact it must be replaced. The function of every
helmet is to absorb any impacts to the head, this is obtained thanks to the impact absorbing
capability of the various material used in the helmet’s construction. It’s components absorb
impact through alteration, compression and partial destruction and for this reason a helmet
that has received a violent blow should not be used again. Even if it seems not to have been
damaged the helmet will no longer be able to absorb impact adequately.

In addition to dissipating compression-absorbing shocks like traditional helmets (linear impact),
the helmet structure combines innovative technology that dissipates the energy associated with
rotational acceleration (rotational impact), reducing tension and providing additional protection
for some types of impact.
