Detailed Description

According to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways statistics, 4 lives are lost every single hour because of fatal head injuries suffered by motorcyclists in India. A shocking 78% of the riders do not wear helmets, which leads to grave injuries. A majority of these accidents take the lives of children and pillion riders, who are at a much higher risk of a head injury in the event of an accident. Therefore, motorcycle helmets for women and helmets for kids are also equally important when it comes to staying safe on the roads. Wearing good-quality helmets that meet safety benchmarks can prevent fatal head injuries and save your life. Also, insurance payouts are hassle-free when you have a helmet on during a mishap. In most cases, insurance adjudicators often conduct an investigation before paying out insurance coverage. If you failed to abide by any traffic laws, there could be a potential problem in receiving the insurance money. So, a word of advice: never forget to put on your helmet, even if it is a short ride to the grocery store.
