2. Friction due to the helmets on the forehead can cause skin infections and rashes like soreness and dermatitis.

3. A fully-covered helmet causes shortness of breath due to the belt across the throat and covered mouthpiece.

4. When there is an accident, the additional weight of wearing the helmet may cause serious brain injury.
