Making sense of motorcycle helmets
|
|
HELMETS are worn over the head. Not on elbows or
strapped to the side of motorcycles, like what most of us see among
many of the underbone (small displacement motorcycles) riders on
Philippine roads. Helmets are designed to protect a rider’s head
in a crash or spill. Like the human head—and more important,
what’s inside it—not all helmets are created equal, so it’s
best to get into one’s thick skull what all those ratings on a
helmet mean.
That’s assuming one’s helmet actually bears
a safety rating, of course, the proof of which is often displayed at
bottom of the helmet’s back and on a label sewn on its inner
lining.
