 a body defining a cavity to receive a head of a user; and   a visor attached to the body and including
 a transparent structure having a pair of lateral edges, and 
 a protector coupled to one of the pair of lateral edges of the transparent structure, wherein the protector is made of soft material to protect a nose or chin of a user from any potential cut. 
   
     
     
         9 . The helmet of  claim 8 , wherein the transparent structure is pivotally coupled to a body of the helmet. 
     
     
         10 . The helmet of  claim 8 , wherein the protector extends along an entire length of the one of the pair of lateral edges of the transparent structure. 
     
     
         11 . The helmet of  claim 8 , wherein the protector extends along a portion of the one of the pair of lateral edges of the transparent structure. 
     
     
         12 . The helmet of  claim 8 , wherein the protector is made of rubber. 
     
     
         13 .
