Default Sneezing with a face mask on!!!!!

Just thought I'd ask... So I'm riding the other day and it was a little brisk so I had on my "face mask" and a 1/2 helmet. Riding listening to the tunes and I feel that SNEEZE coming on... Didn't quite calculate my mouth being covered and all so I let it rip! Not a good thing. Dealt with the aftermath pretty good, but man I wondered about having on a full face helmet with shield down and not being able to hold it in... Oh yea this has been done before. Please tell...

Here is how the mask looks

Unfortunately I can tell you from firsthand experience, while doing 60mpa with a full face helmet chewing gum DO NOT BLOW A BUBBLE!

i sneeze all the time in my full face helmet. especially now that i have the flu.
after the first one or two times you do it you really learn a technique on how to only sneeze downward and not get anything in your helmet or anything like that. its sort of like learning how to breathe downward so that the mask doesn't fog when you are riding around in freezing temps.

..That's funny. But, how about the same scenario only with a big chew of snuff. Don't ask who.
