Helmets are built to absorb one hard impact and keep your head safe. That's why, in most cases, if a helmet has a hard impact in an accident, it may be of little protective value in another mishap. Most helmet manufacturers recommend that, under normal use, you should replace your helmet every two to four years. If you notice any signs of damage before then, replace it sooner. Fiberglass helmets may crack or break if dropped. And, if you see any light brown spots near the rivets of a polycarbonate helmet, it is probably damaged and should be replaced.
