What is a "chin strap"?

A chin strap is a safety accessory worn under the chin to help secure a helmet in place. It is commonly used in sports such as football, hockey, and cycling. The strap is typically adjustable, made of strong, durable material like nylon or leather, and attaches to both sides of the helmet. A chin strap helps prevent the helmet from shifting or falling off during physical activity, ensuring proper protection for the head and face. It is especially important during high-impact or fast-moving sports where the risk of injury is higher.
