Helmets, helmets, helmets

This is only marginally related to officiating, but, does anyone have a clue why helmets now routinely fly off the heads of players? 30 years ago many helmets had only 1 strap or; if two, located right at the chin. Now, there are two straps located all the way up on the head. You would think that the helmets would stay on better, but the opposite seems to be true.
