Abstract: A one or two-piece safety helmet to be used while biking, skating, rollerblading or while performing other recreational activities using non-motorized vehicles, wherein in one configuration, the helmet is comprised of an inner and outer shell secured together via VELCRO.TM. or snaps, wherein both shells meet appropriate helmet safety standards. The helmet features a chin-strap, directional signals, a break light, an AM/FM radio, and two-way communication capabilities. The directional signals and break light allows a user to warn others when the user is turning or slowing down. Pre-recorded warning messages in the form of a voice message or a warning signal may be stored on a chip embedded within a electronics module situated in the rear of the outer shell of the helmet. The messages or warning signals alert the user when the chin-strap is not secured or the helmet is not being properly used.
