Not out. See Law 32.3e (a fair catch). If the ball hits a fielder's protective helmet this is not a fair catch and the batsman is not out, although the ball remains in play.

However, if the helmet was on the ground and not his head, then the fielding team is penalised 5 runs and the ball is declared dead - he is not out.

How do you make a wicket stump?
When the batsman attempts a shot, he may step outside of his batting crease. If he misses the ball, and the wicketkeeper removes the bails before the batsman returns to his ground, the batsman is out stumped.Stumpings usually occur off spin bowling, as the wicketkeeper needs to be standing up to the stumps in order to affect a stumping. On rare occasions, however, the 'keeper manages to tump a batsman out off a fast bowler.
