helmet weighs around 2 kg. humans can swing at 40 m/s
That is as much as 1600 Joules of kinetic energy. Just for reference, here is a video of another experiment dissipating 1600 Joules of energy in an impact.

Swinging a helmet at a guy’s head is different than everything else

It’s pretty bad. Not like nuking a tornado bad, but still bad.

I've never understood football players punching a helmet...

Interesting, but I don't think a football helmet will do that

I definitely expect that the kinetic energy was likely 1/4 of that max, and yes,
