This one's easy. Run the short course, and have Bill Taylor snug up
your helmet strap. Then always do it the same way from then on.
Oh, yeah -- maybe you'll want to breathe, or to swallow, or be able to
talk afterwards.
In that case... Try rolling the helmet farther to the front so it
covers your forehead more (seriously, this should be enough). Or don't
have a visor on the front of the helmet. Or wear a full-face helmet
with closed faceshield. Have you tried on other brands/styles of
helmets? Maybe yours isn't the right fit.

didn't come off. Trying for 205+ this year...
