    New ways to destroy old lids

    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
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Shotgun!

    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...

    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?

    Ride to a soccer tournament

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

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

    End result, wife gets a nice new helmet

    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!!

    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.
