This frontal projection did not reveal an obvious cause for the helmet obstruction. It is however, quite an awesome image.
Case Discussion
The astute observer may notice that this is not a genuine stormtrooper helmet, as there are no electronics for communications, nor is there evidence of integrated life support systems. Had this young man purchased a higher quality, functioning helmet, perhaps it would not have become stuck on his head.
