You unscrew the chin bar, insert head, reattach chin bar. To clarify further…You make the main helmet and the chin bar two completely separate pieces no longer attached to each other. Which is only possible because the helmet is a modular helmet.
to get my chin bar on, it wasn't just screwing it on. i had to lift it up, get it in just the right spot for the plastic whatsits to line up so it could snap in right, and then the hinge would click in properly. it's my first modular helmet so i can't say they're all like that, but it's my experience. i couldn't get mine to do that.
Something tells me this is a cheap helmet and likely doesn’t have any kind of secondary safety for the hinge like what you’re talking about. The other hint that makes me think the chin bar was removed is because who takes the entire hinge mechanism for the visor off with the visor? That hinge should screw into those two screw holes, then the visor snaps into that to allow it to move when the chin bar is down.
Kind of like this helmet…which is $87 on eBay
