Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Maybe?PM John Wood. I remember in chat he said he has one.It is probably heavy duty as I'd guess it was for college/NFL football players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMunger Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I just can't help it. Whenever I see one, I have this mental picture of someone walking around in a shopping mall wearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I remember the actor Chris Penn wearing one in the movie, "The Wild Life". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryg Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Everybody, Here's the entire scoop on building a neck helmet: Parts needed: 1. Hockey or football helmet that fits very snug. A double strap chincup assembly works best (two straps per side) 2. 3/4" pipe floor flange 3. Approx. 8" piece of 3/4" threaded pipe 4. Nuts, bolts, and washers to fit the flange. Remember that the bolts will go through the top of the helmet and the flange, so get them the right length. I can't tell you what length to get, since different helmets have individual dimensions. 5. One dumbbell collar and weight plates with 1" hole (standard) You want the pipe to stick up from the top of the helmet like a "unicorn". It's best if the pipe tilts slightly forward 10-15 degrees. Place the flange on top of the helmet and mark the hole locations. Drill the holes in the helmet, and try not to ruin the internal padding. Push the bolts through from the inside out the top, and place the flange in position. Remember to use washers on both sides of the helmet material. Bolt the flange onto the helmet. Thread in the piece of pipe. You're done. Load the pipe with weight plates to use the helmet. Be sure to secure the plates with the collar before use!!

OldGuy Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 It is amusing. I picture somebody going around wearing iron boots and a loaded football helmet. Possibly even a weighted vest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
