# A Helmet is a MUST: Safety Guidelines for Your Visit to Silverstone
To ensure you have a safe and enjoyable time, we have established some important safety guidelines regarding helmet use and appropriate clothing.
## Helmet Requirement
Wearing a helmet is mandatory for all participants engaging in motorsport activities at Silverstone. Helmets are designed to protect your head in the event of an accident, and they play a crucial role in ensuring your safety on the track. You have two options when it comes to helmets:
- **Bring Your Own Helmet:** If you have a helmet that meets safety standards, feel free to bring it along! Make sure it is in good condition and fits properly for maximum protection.
- **Hire a Helmet from Silverstone:** If you don’t have your own helmet, you can easily hire one from us for just £30.00. Our helmets are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they provide the highest level of safety. When you arrive, simply visit our rental desk to pick up your helmet.
## Clothing Requirements
In addition to wearing a helmet, it is essential that all participants ensure their arms and legs are covered. This means wearing long sleeves and long pants. Here’s why this is important:
- **Protection from Injuries:** Covering your arms and legs helps protect your skin from abrasions and injuries in case of a fall or collision.
- **Comfort and Safety:** Long clothing can also provide an additional layer of comfort and protection from the elements, such as wind or debris while on the track.
We appreciate your cooperation in following these safety guidelines. By ensuring that you wear a helmet and appropriate clothing, you contribute to a safer environment for everyone at Silverstone.
