Always wear proper protective gear when riding. This includes knee and elbow pads and an age-appropriate
helmet.
•
Helmets should fit comfortably and snugly, covering the forehead but
not hindering your field of vision.
•
The helmet should have a chin strap and buckle to keep the helmet in
place.
•
The helmet should be made out of a hard, protective outer shell and
an impact-absorbing inner layer at least 1/2-inch thick.
•
The helmet should be approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), the Snell Memorial Foundation, or the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
