designation it meets the standard safety requirements of the Consumer
Product Safety Commission. If your helmet bears a CE designation it
meets the EN 1078 safety requirements of the European Committee for
Standardization. If your helmet bears an ASTM F1952-10 designation

of a BMX helmet. If your helmet bears an AS/NZ 2063:28 designation it

LIMITED IMPACT PROTECTION
Helmets cannot always protect against injury. Even a very low speed
accident can result in serious injury or death. Any helmet subjected to a
severe impact should be discarded and destroyed, even though damage
may not be outwardly visible. Since this helmet is made of polystyrene
foam, there’s a chance it may be penetrated by sharp objects.
HELMETS CAN’T PREVENT ALL HEAD INJURIES
Some head injuries are not caused by impacts at all, but by other forces.
You can scramble an egg just by shaking it. You don’t have to break the
shell to destroy the contents. Helmets cannot prevent this type of injury.
HELMETS CAN’T PROTECT WHAT THEY DON’T COVER
The helmet will not protect the neck or any area of the head it doesn’t
cover. It cannot guard against spinal or other bodily injuries that may
result from an accident.
