helmet safety

Cranial injury prevention

Helmet safety refers to the protective effectiveness of helmets and the practices surrounding their proper use.

The term appears in discussions of standards, testing, and compliance: The new regulations address helmet safety for motorcyclists.

It also covers correct fit, maintenance, and replacement after impact—factors that determine whether a helmet will actually protect the wearer in a crash.
