• II. WARNING – SAFETY
WARNING !
THIS HELMET, AND BIKE HELMETS IN GENERAL, ARE CONSTRUCTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE HELMET SHELL
IS PARTLY DESTROYED UPON IMPACT IN ORDER TO ABSORB IMPACT ENERGY AND TO PROTECT YOUR HEAD.
THEREFORE THE HELMET HAS TO BE REPLACED AND DESTROYED AFTER IT HAS SUSTAINED A SIGNIFICANT
BLOW, EVEN IF NO DAMAGE IS NOTICEABLE. PLEASE ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MATERIAL OF THE HEL-
MET CAN BE PENETRATED BY SHARP OBJECTS.
WARNING !
NO HELMET CAN PROTECT THE USER FROM ALL INJURIES IN ALL ACCIDENTS, IN PARTICULAR IN COLLISIONS
WITH MOTOR VEHICLES. DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF IMPACT, EVEN AN ACCIDENT AT VERY LOW
SPEEDS CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURIES OR DEATH.
THIS HELMET WAS DEVELOPED TO PROTECT YOUR HEAD. IT DOES NOT OFFER PROTECTION FROM INJURIES
TO THE NECK, THE SPINAL COLUMN, OR OTHER BODY PARTS CAPABLE OF BEING AFFECTED BY AN ACCIDENT.
WARNING !
DO NOT MODIFY OR REMOVE ANY OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS OF YOUR HELMET IN ANY WAY CONTRARY TO
THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY SCOTT. ANY LIABILITY CLAIMS SHALL BE PRECLUDED IN THE EVENT OF INCOR-
RECT USE. SOME SCOTT HELMETS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A DETACHABLE VISOR SYSTEM. THESE SYSTEMS
ENSURE THAT THE VISOR IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGES IN THE CASE OF A FALL OR OTHER IMPACT EVENTS. THE
ATTACHMENT OF THESE VISORS DOES NOT DAMAGE THE MATERIAL OF YOUR HELMET IN ANY WAY.
