    When I had to dispose of my old motorcycle helmets, I gave them to the fire department (Paramedic squads). I was told (citation needed) there’s a special cutter they use to cut a helmet off a crash victim (because they don’t want to try and yank off the helmet and cause worse spinal injuries. Since the cutter destroys the helmet, they don’t often get a chance to practice. I figure I want my fire department quite comfortable with the helmet cutter when its time to do it for real. See if your fire department has the helmet cutter and if they want some practice before you drop them off though.
