Can't say I've ever found fastening and undoing the D rings too onerous...maybe I have too much time on my hands.

I do always remember to give the chin strap some tug tug tug love though... another job care of muscle memory I guess.

Erm...my muscle memory has the odd hole in it. There are times when I start out and find the straps flapping loose, having forgotten to do 'em up. :facepalm:

Reminds me of the clothes-change in the Mini Mr. Bean skit.

He'll still have to take his gloves off for the keys

And save 12 secs with the risk of the helmet coming off in a crash - I'm very doubtful of doing this .. if you can pull off the helmet that easily then it can come off in a crash as well ..

Remember Simoncelli ...???? And I'll bet he didn't take his race helmet off this way ...
