Helmets
- helmets are recommended for beginner skaters of any age
- fit should be snug
- both the strap and the helmet should be adjustable
- look for a helmet made of hard plastic with a thick layer of sponge
- look for helmets approved by the Canadian Standards Association
   (CSA) as they are safest and of the best quality
- a hockey helmet is recommended over a cycling helmet as it is designed
   to withstand repeated bumps and protects against penetration
