How should a properly fitted motorcycle helmet feel?
- A.Very loose so it can move freely
- B.Snug all around the head with no painful pressure points
- C.Tight only on the forehead
- D.Loose enough to wear over a thick hat
Correct answer
B. Snug all around the head with no painful pressure points
Why
A correct helmet fits snugly around the whole head, stays in place when you shake your head, and has no painful hot spots. A loose helmet can shift or come off in a crash and will not protect as designed.
