What must you do to protect yourself against head injuries?

Wearing an appropriate, good fitting motorcycle helmet is essential to protect yourself against head injuries while riding. German traffic rules require helmets to be specifically designed and certified for motorcycle use because they provide the necessary impact protection. A well-maintained motorcycle cap or a work safety helmet is not sufficient because they do not meet the safety standards needed for high-speed accidents on the road. Always choose a helmet that fits properly and meets official safety certifications to ensure maximum protection.
