What if he stops but then the blocker comes around someone and did have time to check if he is wearing head gear...
Just stopping is not removing yourself from the play, so I would imagine the helmetless player would still get the penalty. We'll see though.

Stopping is good enough; there's no requirement for the player to get away from the other players. The issue for defenders is when they pursue the play or when a blocker disengages and moves towards another player. If either is standing still and an opponent hits them, it's a PF on the player making contact.
You can have offsetting fouls...one on player (helmet comes off) who attempts to participate and the opponent who hits him.
