Wear protective apparel to decrease the risk of injury and increase riding comfort.
-
Always wear a full-face helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards. Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label. Laws in some areas require that riders wear an approved helmet. Head injuries are the leading cause of fatalities in accidents involving vehicles such as the SLINGSHOT vehicle. Statistics prove that an approved helmet is the most effective protection in preventing or reducing head injuries.
-
Wear eye protection to protect eyes from wind or airborne particles and objects. Laws in some areas require that you wear eye protection. POLARIS recommends that you wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eyewear is kept clean.
