Unless it happens when you're coaching and it's against your team....in that case, what do you have....? Off-setting penalties, if both ball carrier and defender are possible guilty parties. Use some common sense.
"While inadvertent contact between helmets may occur
in close line play or as players are closely engaged, all involved must be aware when
the proverbial “line has been crossed,” and an illegal act has occurred."
MEANING: If the ball carrier and defender (in the official's opinion) square each other up from 5 or 10 yards apart and come at each other like rams striking their heads together, a foul has occurred. (I.E: Judgement call)
Maybe you should troll a badminton rules thread.
