EYES,
EARS & MOUTH FIT TIPS
Helmets that
slip to the front, back or side of the head expose parts of the
skull, while extremely loose straps, or unbuckled straps, can
allow the helmet to completely fall off the head in an accident.
SAFE KIDS and Bell encourage parents to learn - and then teach
their children - the "Eyes, Ears & Mouth" checklist
to ensure proper fit.
 |
|
EYES:
The
rim of the helmet should be 1-to-2 finger-widths
above the eyebrows.
|
 |
|
EARS:
The
straps should form a "V" under just beneath the
ear lobe. |
 |
|
MOUTH:
The
buckle should be flush against the skin under the chin;
when the rider opens his mouth, he should feel it snug on
the chin and hugging the head. |
