I find it interesting that you can clearly see a cord/tie that goes under her chin to keep it on. I always thought they just balanced.

The other interesting point is I think the back blimmet might curve under at the back of her neck, which makes me wonder how far it extends towards the back of her neck and whether perhaps it helps to keep it on and maybe it extends all the way across.
