Yes.

This is a two person operation.

Basically, after removing the chin strap, and glasses/goggles/debris, one person holds the head and neck steady, by reaching up into the helmet on either side of the face, cradling the C-Spine with their fingers. This is absolutely critical.

The second person inflates the bladder, while guiding the helmet off, tilting back slightly, so the riders' nose clears the chin bar.

Ideally, a third person would handle the inflation duties, so the helmet remover could concentrate on their job, with both hands.
