22. A goggle helmet mount, comprising:
a helmet block attachable to a helmet;
a chassis comprising a battery pack case configured to house a battery, and rotatably coupled to the helmet block such that the chassis is rotatably positionable in a lowered position and in a raised position, the battery pack case being elongated along an axis, and oriented such that the axis extends from an aft end of the battery pack case proximal to the helmet block toward a fore end of the battery pack case distal to the helmet block;
an electrical path electrically coupled to the battery pack case;
an electrical switch provided along the electrical path and positionable in an opened configuration, whereby the electrical path is broken at the electrical switch, and in a closed configuration, whereby the electrical path is unbroken across the electrical switch; and
a magnet configured to cause the electrical switch to be in the closed configuration in response to the chassis being in the lowered position, and to be in the opened configuration in response to the chassis being in the raised position.
