I've a collection of old and buugered helmets.
The flattie and i have been destroying em.
So far puttin em under the back wheel of a car makes em spit out sideways.
The fibreglass ones are great for balancing a pickaxe in
-sledgehammers actually bounce off the polycarb ones--hmmm

Shotgun! :ar15:

Or... even better, put fill a paint tin with water, whack the lid on it & put it upside down under the helmet, then shoot it with the 30-06 (or other high powered rifle of your choice)

Then there's always gelignite... :devil2:

I have a 70lb compound hunting bow with broad head arrows, any guess at what sort of damage that would do?

With, or without a head in the helmet? :shit:

Ride to a soccer tournament

Leave the motel room open while you go out to get some beer :beer:

Come back to hear about your team mate putting the wifes helmet on and lying down while others kick it like a soccer ball :argh:

While the helmet was not actually destroyed, it no longer fit, the visor was damaged and its one crash protection was probably gone :mad:

End result, wife gets a nice new helmet :whistle:

The paint tin trick is good for launching the helmet a long way into the air, looks even better if the water has food colouring in it!!

It would be shame to not having the helmet sat on the head of a low-life bilge-suckering oxygen thiefs head when the 150 grain hollow-point went into the helmet though!! :blink:

A plastic bag filled with a little oxy/acetylene and a very small fuse inside the helmet. Connect said fuse through neck of bag (sealed after the inclusion of the two gases with tape) and run a significant charge through fuse at a safe distance. It should go 'pop'.

This is the same trick as I saw working in a factory - the factory staff used to get pissed off with one guy who always ran his air horns (doo doo dootle dittle doo doo doo doo) so they taped the bag under the bonnet and connected the wires to the air horn relay. The bonnet wrapped itself neatly around the windscreen and roof of the car.

I fired my spud gun at a bike helmet a few months ago and it completly pulverised it. That could be an idea, you would be surprised how powerful they are if you can get hold of one. If i had a stuffed helmet handy I'd give it a crack.

Get a 2 litre coke bottle

Half fill with cold water

Drop in a frozen chunk of dry ice.

Do the lid up, stand WELL back, and block your ears.

Hang it up, pour some 91 petrol in it and see how long it takes for it to eat through.....

Or just douse it and set it alight, then fill it with rocks, douse them and set it alight again

Doing at 3am in the middle street is a good way to the cops round really quick. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything :whistle: . Doing it and prodding it with a stick is most definetly not advisable - not that I've done that either - it can give some pretty nasty bruises. Liquid nitrogen works pretty well too - and you don't need the water for that.

well the cold ice bomb is a good one.

But there is the chlorine one or even a little concoction i may be able to whip up for that will have some interesting results :shit: :crazy: :crazy: .

you may need to run very far / hide behind a wall :crazy: :Punk:

we filled a 1.5 litre coke bottle with oxy-acetylene then glued a sparkplug into the lid and taped it under the bonnet of a friends car and attached one of the spark leads to the spark plug in the lid of the bottle, and sat back with beer and watched the fun
needless to say we all have problems with that funny ringing sound when we get into quiet rooms since
but in the words of francis form malcom in the middle

while this does make a very loud bang, it doesnt actually have any explosive power - the noise is just the pressure form the bottle escaping.
but they bloody well hurt when the go off in your hand

doctor: This looks like...like plastic??
Me: really?...how did that get in there?
doctor: I wonder..

Rather than use any mixture of these methods of detroying your old lids, why not donate them to your local emergency services (do you have some kind of volunteer ambulance service like our St. John's Ambulance)?

They NEED donations of helmets so they can practice safe helmet removal.

You never know... it could be YOU that needs this done one day... and it could well be done by someone who learned on one of your old lids.

Just a thought.
