Question 6646
In the event of an accident involving a motorcycle, a full-face helmet...
- prevents abrasion of the face or head when sliding along the pavement.
- prevents the collarbone from being fractured.
- makes it possible for the energy of the impact to be concentrated on a specific part of the head.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: prevents abrasion of the face or head when sliding along the pavement.
If you slide along the pavement after a fall, a full-face helmet keeps your face and head from getting scraped, because it also covers your chin and jaw. It also spreads the energy of the impact throughout its structure instead of concentrating it at one point. It does not protect your collarbone.
