In 1930 he was involved in a controversy, called the Big bomb (Icelandic: Stóra bomban) when he raised concerns that Jónas Jónsson, the Icelandic Minister of Justice, was suffering from mental instability.[4] The incident led to Helgi being fired from the Kleppspítali, although he later was reinstated as its head physician.[5]
From 1938 to 1958, he served as Chief Scout of the scouting organisation Bandalag íslenskra skáta.
