Når er det på tide å kjøpe ny hjelm?

Erstatt en gammel hjelm eller hjelm med skade. Hjelmer er designet for å absorbere sammenstøt ved å delvis ødelegge skall og innmat. Denne skaden er ikke alltid så lett å se. Derfor er det slik at hvis hjelmen blir utsatt for et hardt støt, bør den ødelegges eller byttes ut selv om den ser uskadd ut. Hjelmen har en begrenset levetid og bør byttes ut når det begynner å bli synlig slitasje på den.

Hjelmens bestanddeler svekkes over tid, så selv om hjelmen ikke har blitt utsatt for støt eller skader, bør den byttes etter tre års bruk.
