A helmet can significantly reduce your child’s chance of a head injury from skateboard accident. As such, it is advisable to remember some things when wearing a helmet. Helmets should not interfere or restrict your child’s vision, as well as his hearing. A properly fitted helmet will avoid this. When worn, a helmet should be level on the top of the head, about two finger widths just above the eyebrows. Ensure that the strap is buckled under the chin.
