Correct answer
The helmet shell
The outer shell. It works with the impact-absorbing inner liner, which deforms to absorb energy. The visor protects the eye area against air and particles but does not replace those head-protection layers. The helmet must be suitable, fit properly and have its strap fastened; no part guarantees preventing every injury.
