Realspeed logic at work
A bullet would laugh at a crash helmet and go straight through.
I think a more pertinent rule would be that we all should wear tin hats and body armour, especially if you live in Londonistan.

He asked me to take aim and shoot him.
Luckily, I missed and hit the top of his crash helmet.

Re: crash helmets
Well Realspeed appears mistaken.This video clip shows a 50 cal rifle bullet sail through 6 motorcycle helmets with ease.

However when we come to a proper ballistic helmet then perhaps it's not too fantastical.
Watch these dumb Russians test it out !!

There is certainly some helmet movement !

Re: crash helmets
The British, used to have pudding basin helmets in ww2, they rarely fastened the chin strap, this was because if in sentry duty for example, and an enemy soldier attacked from behind , they could pull the helmet back and it would break the neck, the Germans of course had a different design, something similar is used by modern US forces today
