Depends how familiar you are with the under-seat construction. If you are great, if not then the structure below all seats is designed to collapse.

How are they mounted? The only two ways I've seen GPS mounted in R22 or R44 is on top of the binnacle, out of the way of legs, or suction mounts on the windscreen, which would give way before a leg.
