Since June 1, the "one safety belt" security operation has been carried out nationwide. During the operation, the public security and traffic control department will strengthen the law enforcement management, check and correct the behaviors of motorcycle and electric bicycle drivers who do not wear helmets, and automobile drivers who do not wear seat belts, and help them develop safety habits.
Since the announcement of "One Safety Belt" in April this year, helmets have become a hot commodity this year. The demand for helmets is released in a short time. In the case of imbalance between supply and demand, even a helmet is hard to find.
Helmet How to select? Let's take a look.
Do you know these cognitive mistakes about helmets?
Carbon fiber helmet is safer than plastic helmet
At present, most helmets on the market are made of plastic, glass fiber and carbon fiber, of which plastic helmets account for the majority. However, glass fiber and carbon fiber helmets have very small market shares and high prices due to complex processes and expensive materials.
Are carbon fiber helmets safer than other materials? In fact, under the same helmet body certification, the material characteristics will affect the weight of the helmet, and there is no difference in the impact on the safety of experimental data. Therefore, carbon fiber helmets with high prices may not be safe, but it must be noted that helmets with ultra-low prices should not be selected because they may be made of recycled materials.
Helmet The more expensive, the better
Many helmets are expensive, not because of their good safety, but because some helmet manufacturers will do something about the "decoration" and appearance of helmets to produce very popular products. The more complex the technology, the more complex the materials, the more refined the workmanship, and the more accessories are designed and processed, the higher the cost and natural price of the helmet will be. However, high prices do not necessarily mean a higher level of security.
Three sizes of helmets are more comfortable
Why would someone choose a larger helmet? The main reason is that the liner design of the helmet is close to the head, wrapping the head, resulting in narrow space, poor air circulation and poor heating. The disadvantage of wearing a larger helmet is that once an accident occurs, it is easy to cause the helmet to fall off and lose its protection.
At present, the helmet focuses on the heat dissipation design of the front and rear air ducts. The speed of cycling gradually increases. The ventilation and heat dissipation of helmet will be gradually reflected. The stuffy environment will be improved. Generally speaking, they can adapt for a period of time.
