At least it is fitted to the rider and not the handlebars, like on this 4 seater bike (The other 3 riders are at work.. Telstra call centre?)

Last time I spoke to a Telstra helpline employee, I got Mudjiba... he has a fantastic understanding of Engrish, especially colours.

"Green! Green!"... he pink up de phone, and say "Yellow?..."

LOl, they remind me of living in India & Nepal.  Many of the riders would wear a helmet "on" their head, not with the head inside the helmet, but it sitting perched on top.  Will have to see if I can find a photo or two...

This is how they do random breath testing in Nepal:  https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=4362436974110&set=vb.127468350641683&type=2&theater (https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=4362436974110&set=vb.127468350641683&type=2&theater)

I wish I had a phot of the way they wore helmets in Peru and Rio.

In Peru a Full face helemt was over the back of the head with the chin bar on the the forehead.

In Rio they put the helmet all the way on (open face or full face) but NEVER tie up the chin strap.  Our Aussie guide had to get from the Flavelas to a hospital to see one of our fellow travellers and got a lift on a Bike.  When she got to the hospital, the Rider tries to get the helmet back off her and just pulled it up toppling her off her feet, because she had done it up.
