Getting Ready & Protective Gear

How should a motorcycle helmet fit?

  • A.Loose enough to move freely when you shake your head
  • B.Snugly, without being painfully tight, and without shifting around
  • C.Tilted back so it does not touch your forehead
  • D.One size too large so you can wear a hat under it
Correct answer

B. Snugly, without being painfully tight, and without shifting around

Why

A helmet should fit snugly and stay in place when you move your head. A loose helmet can shift or come off and cannot protect you as designed.
