2. This helmet was designed for the following activities:
pedal cycling, skateboard and roller skate. It offers
protection against low speed falls; crashes against
urban obstacles such as light posts, building walls,
trees, and traffic signs; crashes against other vehicles
and projectiles such as stones and tree branches. It
must not be used in motorsports, to ride motorbikes
or any other kind of use.
3. This helmet is made of expanded polystyrene
covered by a plastic outer shell (used to protect the
EPS inner shell from splinters and minor damages as
well as to give a better look to the product).
4. Some Polisport's helmets are supplied with a
removable visor. The application of this visor to the
EPS inner shell of the helmet does not influence the
shock absorption capacity of the helmet. The visor
itself does not provide any kind of protection.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Always wear your bicycle helmet low in the front to
protect the forehead, as this area is most likely to be
impacted in a bicycle crash. Check TABLE 3 to confirm
the correct helmet positioning. Make sure the helmet
fits and is always correctly fastened. Check the
adjustment before every ride.
2. It is strictly prohibited to remove/ modify any of the
original component parts of the helmet except for
spare parts that might be supplied in the product
packaging. The helmet mustn't be adapted for
the purpose of fitting accessories in a way not
recommended in this user manual. Such practice,
besides representing a serious risk to the integrity of
the user, will void all Polisport's warranties.
3. Any helmet submitted to an impact must be
destroyed and replaced even if it does not show
any visible damages - The helmet shock absorption
capacity might be diminished. In any case, we
recommend replacing your helmet every three years
or when they do not fit any longer.
4. No helmet can protect the user against all possible
accidents (including those involving bicycle
collisions with motor vehicles). Even accidents at low
speed may result in serious injuries to the head or
even death. This helmet is made to protect the head
and it cannot avoid cervical or backbone injuries, or
any other physical injuries resulting from an accident.
