Wear a Helmet, Save a Brain!
Your brain is the most important organ in your body, and it is yours for life. Protect
your most valuable asset and wear a helmet when you are participating in various
sports.
SKATE
Riding a bike? Wear your bike helmet.
Playing football? Wear your football helmet. SAFE!
Going snowboarding? Wear a snowboarding helmet.
Playing hockey? Wear a hockey helmet.
Ice skating for fun? Wear a hockey or snowboarding helmet.
Simple, isn’t it? Taking these easy steps now will protect you in the future.
How to fit your Helmet:
Every helmet should be CSA approved and be easily adjustable.
It should rest half an inch above the eyebrow.
The chin strap should fit snugly under the chin; if more than one finger fits
between the strap and the chin, the helmet is too loose.

It is recommended, especially for younger children, to have a face mask on your
helmet. This will help prevent damage to teeth, chin and mouth, common injuries
in skating.
