This.
Now that there are fewer instances of post crash fires in R44s, we should take note of injuries suffered by survivors.
Having worn a helmet in back seat on filming jobs in r44 news, there is not much headroom left. Front seats a little better.
There are few light helicopters that have impact absorbing material around tops of doors.
Are helmets for learner drivers and their instructors such an imposition?
