For SCA purposes you can wear a pink tutu and a helmet with horns while wearing a samurai cuirass and have it all made out of a pickle barrel and be ok as long as you meet the minimum protective requirements :)

Well one drawback of a klappvisier bascinet is having the visor come off and getting your nose broken.

It's not proving a big issue in the SCA or ACL. Just use either a strap and/or a good locking pin, or somesuch.
Sir Edward:
That's the thing. There are easy modern solutions, but many of these helmets historically did not have locking pins and the like. They used tension in the hinges, more often than not, to keep the visor in place.
