Answer
IF YOU ARE IN A:
A structure (e.g. residence, small building, school, nursing home, hospital, factory, shopping center, high-rise building)


Go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Get under a sturdy table and use your arms to protect your head and neck.
In a high-rise building, go to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible.
If available, put on a bicycle or motorcycle helmet to protect yourself from head injuries.
Put on sturdy shoes.
Do not open windows.

IF YOU ARE IN A: trailer or mobile home

Get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building or a storm shelter. Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes.

IF YOU ARE IN A: The outside with no shelter

Immediately get into a vehicle, buckle your seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter.
If your vehicle is hit by flying debris while you are driving, pull over and park.
Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows; cover your head with your hands and a blanket, coat or other cushion if possible.
If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway, leave your car and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands
Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You are safer in a low, flat location.
Never try to outrun a tornado in urban or congested areas in a car or truck. Instead, leave the vehicle immediately for safe shelter.
Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries.

Is my bicycle helmet too small?

tidy mess

I bought a Bell Faction bicycle helmet for my urban riding. I measured my head at its right at the border between what should be medium and what should be large size helmet. I tried on the large and it was definitely too big - it kept sliding off my head when I pushed on it. So I bought the medium. I haven't worn it riding yet but I've worn it around the house a little bit and I think it's a little bit too snug because it gives me a bit of a headache and I can feel my heart beating on the sides of my head which I assume means that the helmet it putting a little bit of pressure on the blood flow between my skull and my skin.

What should I do? Try it out riding and tolerate the mild headaches in hopes that the helmet will loosen up a bit over time? I should I return it and just accept the sad fact that neither the medium nor the large helmet fits my head?

Thanks!

Answer
Yeah, if the Bell doesn't fit right, try another brand. I bought a Bell helmet too, but found that it didn't fit me well and ended up spending a little more money and getting a Trek. Your helmet may or may not have a ratchet wheel on the back--if it does, play with that and that will probably fix it. If it doesn't, take the pads out of the helmet. They should just velcro in. Your helmet definitely shouldn't slide around on your head though, so good call in not getting the bigger size.
