Found at GizMag:

The novel design provides quick and safe removal via side clips which unlock the interior and allowing the helmet to slide apart."

Ah, yes, I saw that thread. Always good to know that kind of stuff, in case of emergency. :)

I guess this helmet's aimed at the people who don't know... I don't know if it's involved in paramedic training. *shrug*
