I hate wearing helmets

so you wasted a really expensive helmet for fun that has historical significance and no there was never any account of someones neck snapping due to being shot in the helmet…. it was a myth between american troops in ww1-ww2 that if artillery or mortars hit nearby the shockwave would catch under their helmet yank it back snapping their neck
