Abstract: An assembly includes a helmet and a stand. The helmet includes a first half having a first pair of plates and a second half having a second pair of plates. Each of the first pair of plates and each of the second pair of plates forms a respective notch. Responsive to the first half of the helmet being directly attached to the second half of the helmet, the first pair of plates aligns with the second pair of plates thereby forming a pair of brackets. Each of the brackets has a bracket opening. The stand includes a body and a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism includes a first deflectable arm having a first locking tab and an opposing second deflectable arm having a second locking tab. The first locking tab and second locking tab directly engage the bracket openings such that the helmet is rigidly coupled to the stand.
