Do you get better ventilation that way??

Now I've seen it all. While riding yesterday on a rails to trails trail that runs from Cincinnati to Lake Erie, I passed an older guy who was riding with his granddaughter. That's all good and nice but, I noticed something a little funky about his helmet.....well, his helmet was on completely backwards, No joke! It was even buckled around his head.....don't know if he could breath very well. What was even worse is that his granddaughter has hers on backwards too. I think I may try this new style today on my ride to see if it gives me a little more air over my noggin.
