Question 5042
Because there may be damage to its structure that is not visible externally, a protective helmet must be replaced when...
- it takes an impact, since it may have been damaged.
- the colors have gone out of style.
- you switch to a motorcycle with a larger engine displacement.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: it takes an impact, since it may have been damaged.
Replace your helmet if it takes an impact in an accident or falls to the ground from more than 1.5 meters. It may be damaged inside even if nothing shows on the outside, and it would no longer protect you as well. If you are unsure, ask the manufacturer to inspect it. In the image, the white helmet has impact marks.
