AMDifficulty 3/5

In an accident, your helmet received a strong impact. Can you use it again?

Correct answer

No, because its structure could be damaged without this being noticeable externally.

Do not reuse a helmet that has sustained a strong impact in a crash; replace it according to manufacturer instructions. Energy-absorbing material and other components may be damaged without visible external signs, reducing protection in another impact. Inspecting only the outer shell is insufficient. If unsure after a drop or impact, consult the instructions and manufacturer before reusing it.
