Helmet

A helmet is a special hat that you wear to protect your head. Your head is very important because it helps you think, see, hear, and move your body. But sometimes, accidents can happen and your head can get hurt. That’s where a helmet comes in!

A helmet is made from special materials that are strong and can absorb shocks. It usually has a hard outer shell and a soft inner lining. When you wear a helmet, it fits snugly on your head and fastens with a chin strap to keep it in place.

Helmets are important when you do certain activities like riding a bike, skateboarding, skiing, or playing contact sports like football. These activities can be fun, but they also involve a risk of falling or hitting your head. A helmet can help prevent serious injuries like concussions or brain damage.

So always remember to wear a helmet when you're doing any activity that might put your head at risk. It's simple and easy, and it will keep you safe!
