What's the trick to helmet removal?

[Baron Thunderquack]

CFO wears safe on head. I throw safe at CFO. Safe goes "doink" and does nothing.

The 'complete guide' sticky post says hit him higher up on the head. Release later? Is it possible to do this with one straight-out push and release, or do you have to build up momentum?

Get a good swing going, lots of momentum and release it high.

I have to swing it at least twice to get momentum going - however after practicing I can now get it off on the first try 99% of the time (once I get it going right). Do release it high.

Practice will help a LOT!!
