Correct answer
- APasiva.Passive.
The helmet is considered a passive safety element. This is because its main function is to protect the rider in an accident, reducing the severity of head injuries. Unlike active safety elements, such as the brakes or the lights, the helmet does not prevent the accident from happening, but it works automatically once it has happened to minimise the damage.
