Em- bodiments of the invention have been primarily developed to provide protective helmets, protective helmet components and methods for man- ufacturing protective helmets, including protective helmets having an en- largeable bell opening. For example, embodiments are described by ref- erence to two-part helmets having a hinged connection which permits bell opening enlargement to enable insertion or removal of a human head. One embodiment provides a manufacturing method whereby a protec- tive helmet is formed as a single piece, and then cut into shell portions to which interlocking edge members is subsequently applied, thereby to facilitate re-connection of the shells along an interlocking edge.
