Little red tab - lesson learned

[marioweldinginc]

OK so even before I start my quad, I was tooling around with my nice shiny Fox V1 helmet.

I found out that your not supposed to pull out the little red emergency tab.

I went back to the dealer very red faced and explained to them what happened. They were going to swap out my helmet for a new one to make things quick and easy but the didn't have any more in stock.

So now I have a new helmet a HJC CL-X6 Frenzy. I like the fit of this helmet better. This helmet doesnt have the red quick release tab but that might be a good thing in my case/

Lesson learned.

This a first I`ve heard of this !!:huh:If WillyPop found a red tab in his helmet he would of damm sure pulled it

The red tab unlocks the helmet from the foam section. its behind the chin strap. Sounds innocent right? Its for when an EMT has to remove your helmet but doesnt want to move your neck after an accident. Trouble is its one time use only then you have to replace it.
