The post provided a variety of tips on helmets while riding:
Wear it - Always wear a helmet, and make sure passengers have one as well
Fit is key - Make sure the helmet fits snug, but not too uncomfortable
Full-face helmets are recommended for full coverage of chin and face
Eyewear - Built in visor/goggles are the optimal choice
Any crash or drop of a helmet should be followed up with a replacement, even if damage isn't visible. There could be cracks or damage that are difficult to locate.
