Inmunidad civil para prestadores de cascos de bicicleta

Explicación Simple

Si prestas un casco de bicicleta y alguien se lastima, no puedes ser demandado, a menos que hayas hecho algo muy malo intencionalmente. Esto ayuda a que más personas usen cascos sin miedo a problemas legales.

Es como prestar un paraguas en un día lluvioso. Si alguien se moja, no puedes ser culpable, a menos que el paraguas estuviera roto a propósito.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan presta su casco de bicicleta a su amigo Pedro. Mientras pedalea, Pedro se cae y se lastima. Según la ley, Juan no puede ser demandado por esto, a menos que haya hecho algo mal intencionalmente al prestar el casco.
