LIMITED IMPACT PROTECTION
No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible impacts. The helmet is designed to absorb shock
by partial destruction of the shell and liner. This damage may not be visible. Therefore, if subjected to a
severe blow, the helmet should be destroyed and replaced even if it appears undamaged. When worn
correctly, helmets can reduce or prevent many injuries. However, impact forces, even in low-speed
accidents, can cause serious injury or death. Energy absorbing materials used in safety helmets are
designed to crush on impact. Sometimes, the force can crush the material completely. When this
happens, some of the blow is transferred to the head. If this force is great enough it can result in
serious injury or death. Because the variables in every accident are different, it is impossible to predict
how or when this might occur.
WARNING!
Giant and Liv helmets are designed to be suitable to help protect against head injuries when participat-
ing in normal bicycling activities. They are not designed to help protect in other activities such as rock
climbing, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, motorcycling, or high speed sports such as motorcycle
racing, car racing, etc.
Helmets could be effected by extreme and prolonged exposure to heat or UV radiation though most
helmets are not exposed to such extremes. Helmet materials are show to perform beyond 5 year
suggested life in normal normal use.
HELMETS CAN’T PROTECT ALL HEAD INJURIES
Some head injuries are not caused by direct impact, but are the result of severe back and forth
shaking. Safety helmets are not designed to prevent this type of injury.
A helmet has a limited lifespan in use and should be replaced when it shows obvious signs of wear.
Unless this helmet is fitted properly, adjusted properly, and worn properly, it cannot protect
properly. Read and follow the instructions in this manual completely. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or death.
