Help! Bell Helmet Clip Popped Off?!?!

[The duke]

I just started on a ride when I noticed something small and rubber drop to the ground. I realized it was the bracket that holds the two sides (front and back of ear) of the helmet head strap together. A moment later, the right side clip popped off as well and the helmet fell off my head!

I cant see a way to thread this back on. I might likely be wrong, but it looks like the clip that locks the helmet to my head was never properly attached to the nylon strap? Only the plastic bracket was holding it on? Cant figure how this came disattached or how to reattach it again? It looks like the straps are hard wired into the helmet so I cant lace the clip back in?? Any body deal with this on a Bell helmet? Help!!

Hard to say without seeing it, but it sounds like it may be time for a new helmet. They are mostly all throwaway items after any slightest damage anyway.

TT

I've had a bell 40 year old motorcycle helmet that happened to. No repair authorized.

@The duke , chances are it's not broke. IIRC, you're in SoCal? so get thee to a Walmart, Kmart, or Target to see how it's done on a new helmet.
Until then have a look here:
