Yes.

That's surprising. You took good care of your toys. :^) Some
of the classic helmets have thicker reinforced chins - I think
they modified the design of the element around 1983 or 1984.
LEGO wouldn't have bothered doing that if they didn't think the
helmet's chin needed re-enforcing.
I suppose you were more careful with your toys than I was! I have
several helmets from the 1977 releases with broken chins.
