Use eye and face protection. Check the motorcycle's equipment. Test the motorcycle's operation. All motorcycle riders and passengers, regardless of age , are now required to wear a helmet when operating a motorcycle, motor-driven cycle, or motorized bicycle on a public street, highway, or freeway. Have a strong helmet strap with two rings to fasten it.
Snap fasteners can unsnap in an impact.
Be a bright color such as red, white, yellow, or orange. Be made of a reflective material or have reflective tape on the back and sides. Be free of defects such as cracks, loose padding, frayed straps, or exposed metal. Whatever helmet you decide on, keep it securely fastened. Studies of motorcycle crashes show that a loose helmet is only slightly better than not wearing a helmet at all.
