Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hi , Here is what I know about red marks! 1. If they are a dark red and do not fade within an hour, there is a fit issue. 2. If it is a red mark and it fades within an hour, then it needs to be watched, but put the helmet back on. 3. If it is a pinkish red mark, and the skin blanches (turns white when you press on it) it is OK. 4. If it is pink, then it is probably OK, just watch it. I hate to continue with the color scheme, but I don't think that there are true black and white guidelines for red marks. - mom to Aidan STARband 08/26/03 #2 to come soon Grand Rapids, Mi > Ok, I'm a little confused about red marks.
