in compliance with the EU standards EN 966:2012+A1:2012.
o
Never trust a helmet that has no label guaranteeing this standard.
•
We recommend the use of a full-face helmet
o
A full-face helmet offers optimized protection in every situation.
•
Never modify your helmet for whatever reason
o
Modifications could reduce the level of protection, and could annul the helmet’s certification.
•
Never use headphones under the helmet
o
Any rigid components placed inside the helmet, between polystyrene lining and the head, could
become percussive and damaging elements.
•
Always ensure that the chin strap is tightly fastened.
o
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 while using it.
•
Transportation

During transportation keep your helmet in the protective bag provided.
o
If you keep your helmet in the backpack, don’t sit on it.
o
Ensure that the helmet never falls onto the ground or the floor.

Handle the helmet and visor (if present) with great care at all times.
•
In case of accident
o
After an accident, even when the impact is minimal, the helmet should be replaced, regardless of
whether there is any visible damage or not.
Helmets and action cameras
Many pilots mount an action camera onto their helmets in order to record their adventures. It is important to
remember that
any object projecting for more than 5 mm above the level of the outer shell annuls the
helmet’s certification
, just as for any other modification that is not specified in the user manual. The reason
for this is that an object mounted onto the external shell could concentrate a percussive force onto a small
area. Therefore, it is potentially dangerous and reduces the level of protection that the helmet can provide.
Considering that even the most compact action camera projects at least 30/40 mm from the helmet’s outer
shell, there is no doubt that a helmet equipped with this sort of device can no longer be considered as compliant
with its respective certification. For this reason, because we at
Icaro2000
wish to offer the highest possible
level of protection for our customers, we recommend
not fitting action cameras
or other devices onto the
outer shell of a helmet.
Icaro 2000 wishes you safe flying.
