    Explanation
    Wearing a helmet is important to protect your head. Head injuries can be severe and even life-threatening, so wearing a helmet can greatly reduce the risk of such injuries. Helmets provide a cushioning effect and absorb the impact in case of accidents or falls. They are designed to protect the skull and brain from potential trauma, preventing serious head injuries like concussions or fractures. Wearing a helmet is a crucial safety measure, especially when engaging in activities such as cycling, skateboarding, or any other sport where there is a risk of head injury.

    Explanation
    A helmet should be worn during activities like skateboarding, biking, and skating because these activities involve a risk of falling or colliding with objects, which can cause head injuries. Wearing a helmet provides protection to the head and reduces the chances of serious injuries in case of accidents. Therefore, wearing a helmet is recommended for all of the mentioned activities.

    A. Snug
    Explanation
    A helmet should feel snug. This means that it should fit securely on the head without any looseness or gaps. A snug helmet ensures maximum protection by staying in place during impact and reducing the risk of injury. It should not be too tight to cause discomfort or restrict movement, but it should be tight enough to stay securely in place even during sudden movements or accidents. Wearing a snug helmet is essential for ensuring safety while engaging in activities that require head protection, such as cycling, motorcycling, or playing contact sports.
