well, it's all to do with aerodynamics, isn't it? I mean, if the helmet is very smooth and ends quite low down at the front- like a helmet for a cyclist racing in something or other- the air will pass by him easily, making less energy wasted by trying to get the air out of the way. that sounds a bit stupid, but you know what I mean. Probably.
