How to properly fit a helmet to ensure maximum safety and protection?

To properly fit a helmet for maximum safety and protection, follow these steps:

1. Measure your head size to determine the correct helmet size.
2. Position the helmet on your head so it sits level and covers your forehead.
3. Adjust the straps so they form a V-shape under your ears and are snug but not too tight.
4. Make sure the helmet does not move when you shake your head.
5. Check for any gaps between the helmet and your head, and adjust padding if needed.
6. Ensure the helmet meets safety standards and is in good condition before use.
