Remember about safety!

 

We remind that safety helmet is a mist, so that a participant is protected in case of a fall. No one is an exception to one’s own mistakes. It is better to fall and break your helmet, rather than getting a trauma yourself! The law stipulates that a helmet is a must for children up to twelve years old.

 

The event is organised within the EU project “Events for Promoting Health and Preventing Illnesses for Local Society”.
