How important is your head?
Are you protecting your head when you ride your motorcycle? Motorcycle helmets are one of the most important considerations of all safety concerns, especially when you consider the current statistics stating that brain injury is one of the most dominant causes of motorcycle fatalities.
Realizing this importance can make wearing helmets easier to accept psychologically, as many current Nigerian riders currently have a mental block and choose not to wear them. It is rather unfortunate that our government has only been paying lip service to enforcement of crash helmets for riders.
Motorcycle helmets are basically aimed at absorbing the impact of collision to the brain in case of an accident. With this in mind, among the first things that one should be loooking for is the material of the helmet. Lightweight, tough and crack resistant fibers and grades of plastic have it into the helmet manufacturing processes in a big way. Impact resistance can be gauged from the shape and size of the helmets. One ought to educate oneself to ensure that the money spent is worth it. A few Naira more won't hurt as long as you feel safe.
Have a lovely week!
