Bell HP7 Manual De Instrucciones página 5

The helmet only protects areas of the head which are covered. No helmet can protect the neck, body, or
areas of the head not covered by the helmet. A helmet is designed to help absorb the force of a blow, by
spreading it over as wide an area of the outer shell as possible, and then by crushing the non-resilient
energy absorbing inner liner. Damage to the helmet such as shell fracturing or liner compression, caused
by an impact is not a sign of a defect in its design or construction. In fact, it is exactly what the helmet is
designed to do. If the blow is severe enough, it can overcome the helmet's protective capabilities,
resulting in injury or death.

DO'S AND DON'T'S
DO NOT attach anything to your helmet, except helmet accessories authorized by Bell Racing or head and
neck restraint systems approved by the FIA or SFI in countries where SFI is approved. Attachments can
focus a blow in a small area. Rigid attachments can cause twisting of your head and neck in an accident,
which might result in serious injury or death.
Rigid objects attached to the outside of the helmet shell, other than those applied or authorized by the
manufacturer, will concentrate the force, increasing the probability of injury.
DO NOT make any modifications to the helmet. To maintain the full efficiency of this helmet, there should
not be any alterations to the structure of this helmet or its component parts.
DO use a helmet which is specifically designed for your chosen activity.
