The ABCs of Motorcycle Helmet Safety

Some riders love them, some riders hate them. Still, the evidence shows that wearing a helmet can save your life. But how do you choose the right design? It comes down to five factors.

Where you ride: For example, dirt bikers should choose either an off-road or dual sport helmet. These products feature built-up chin bars and larger visors for improved airflow. In contrast, street riders will probably be better off with a full-face or flip-up helmet.
Whether you wear goggles or safety glasses while riding: If not, then you should choose a helmet with a built-in visor or other form of eye shield. Either way, your vision needs some sort of protection from bugs and road debris.
Your individual riding style: For example, modular helmets are a good choice for tourers and cruisers, since they are designed to accommodate an upright riding position. Those who ride while crouched forward are probably better off with a full-face helmet that offers a higher chin bar and an angled visor.

Regardless of which helmet you choose, it should include the following features:

A tough outer shell: Kevlar, carbon fibers, or certain types of polycarbonate are known for their light weight and durability.
Dual internal layers: Including an impact-cushioning outer liner and an inner liner to help keep you comfortable and wick away sweat.
A chinstrap or other retention system: A properly fitted chinstrap should allow you to insert two fingers between the strap and your chin. It should also have a layer of sweat-wicking material to promote comfort.

It’s important to pick a helmet with the DOT seal of approval.

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident that may have been caused by the negligence of others (including municipalities that allowed poor road conditions to go unfixed), then it’s a good idea to talk to a Richmond motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible.

My 1yr old and I were in a pretty bad accident. I called Rutter Mills and they were on it asap! They not only took care of me, but my daughter as well and I couldn't be more thankful!

Sarice

The day I walked into their office I thought there was no hope for my case and I would never be made whole. Two and a half weeks ago, my case was settled above and beyond my expectations. After 4 long years, I have finally been made whole thanks to Rutter Mills. You saved my life.

Donald D.

Mr. Young and his team exceeded my expectations in the way they handled the case and kept me informed. They got involved with my medical billing issues from the accident and a workman's comp claim. They have resolved the issues with workman's comp. I would whole-heartedly recommend this firm.

Lori H.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. Rutter Mills LLP is the BEST.

Kathy Saunders, Joseph Young and Andrew Boran have been a tremendous help and have been very communicative throughout this entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help represent our family! I would recommend them to anyone who needs their expertise! They make sure I don’t miss a beat when it comes to the case and I am very appreciative!
