The Helmet is the Main Most Important Safety Element  for  a R ider.  As we have already mentioned on other occasions, it is advisable to always wear a  helmet  that fits you well, and always buckle up with the Quick Release.

A biker helmet span life  is  usually around  five years. Still, if our  new helmet suffers an impact, we need to replace it earlier than that.   Keep in mind that if  the helmet   falls to the ground or receives a slight blow  that does not show apparent damage, we should  stop using  this helmet.

The helmets are designed with an outer shell that protects our head from impacts and scratches from accidents. The  helmet  has an inner  layer of polystyrene foam  that absorbs the impact,  reducing the risk of internal damage to the head . When we suffer an accident, the " Lid " or " Brain Bucket " serves its purpose by breaking its internal structure to mitigate the blow.

However, if that  same helmet suffers a second impact , the layer that should absorb a new impact will  not function  because it was very  weakened or even unusable from the first impact . The material's original properties have been lost, so the biker helmet would not effectively absorb a second impact, exposing the rider's head.

Therefore,  we recommend  that  if you have suffered an accident or your MicroDot helmet has fallen  to the ground from a considerable height,  do not use it again  and buy a  new full-face helmet .  Everything is for your safety .

But, if you were involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident, send us a copy of the police accident report, and we will ship you a fresh New MicroDOT Helmet.
