Correct answer
The head
The head. A suitable, approved and correctly fastened helmet reduces the risk and severity of head injuries, but does not guarantee preventing every injury. The importance of this protection does not mean the head is always the most frequently injured area: injury distribution depends on the crashes and population studied. Limbs and the torso also need protection.
