The look on his face makes this much funnier. He has already reached the “acceptance” phase of dealing with trauma.
How the f did he manage that?
Insert head through the visor gap sideways, then turn it once you're inside. Good photo op.
Those openings aren’t that big. This is a helmet where the chin bar folds up. You can see the hinge. They took it off, insert head, put back on.
Something like this.
I'm very aware of what a modular helmet is. The hinging of the jaw line still doesn't solve the hardest part: getting the head between the top of the visor opening and the chin bar. You wouldn't be able to lower the chin bar if the kid's head was in the position it is in the picture. I'm halfway tempted to just go do it with my helmet right now and paste the picture here, but fuck that, and just know that I did the same as the kid.
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
✅ Helmet on
This reminds me of cursed vietnam images
I mean... if he got his head into there, he should be able to get it out... what's his problem?
All the gear all the time.
Worn correctly right?
...
Right?
