brain bucket

Skull's crash cage

Brain bucket is slang for a helmet, especially a motorcycle or bicycle helmet.

The term is mildly irreverent, treating the helmet as just a container for the brain rather than serious safety equipment: Strap on your brain bucket before you get on that bike.

Sometimes used for military helmets or hard hats.
