In Bosnia, Sarajevo they found air bomb from 1944 which is huge ( 500kg or 1100 lbs). Luckily there is special team called FUCZ for defusing with full protection they use BIKE HELMETS!

Firstly, this still happens like once a month in Hamburg. Bombs with up to 1000kg TNT, or the infamous fire bombs with acid fuses, which were intended to kill people trying to extinguish fires days after the bombings (acid fuses were meant to give the bomb a delay of 1 hour to several days to explode. Today, they can go off at any second).
Secondly, the helmets are not there to protect the guys from the explosion. If 550kg of TNT explode right in front of you, theres no helmet saving your shit from being blown to bits in the size of confetti.
