motorcycle helmets

Biker skull protection

Motorcycle helmets are protective headgear worn by motorcycle riders, designed to absorb impact and prevent head injuries in crashes.

Most jurisdictions require them by law.

The term covers various styles—full-face helmets that enclose the entire head, open-face helmets that leave the chin exposed, and half helmets that protect only the top of the skull: He strapped on his motorcycle helmet before starting the engine.
