Please remember that cricket, in common with other "hard ball" sports, has intrinsic hazards. Wearing protective equipment such as helmets will not eliminate all injuries but may substantially reduce their severity and frequency.
Participation in sport by a player implies acceptance of some risk of injury.
The aim is to minimise this risk.
Check List:
- Make sire the helmet is a snug fit with no movement backwards, forwards, or from side to side.
- Always wear the chin strap.
- The peak of the helmet should protrude directly forward from the eyebrow line.
- Metal grilles can be fitted in various positions but it is important to note that the highest fitting offers best protection but poorest vision whilst the lowest position gives good visibility but little frontal protection.
Before use the wearer must consider the pro's and con's and decide on the degree of acceptable risk.
- Always check all screws, rivets, buckles, etc. prior to use.
- The internal padding will, with wear, shape to the contours of your head. Therefore, never lend your helmet to anyone else.
- After a severe impact we recommend that you consider replacing the helmet as damage may not always be apparent.
