I am a big fan of helmets!
Also see the previous thread on this topic at:
helmet thread
If the articles in that thread, and this one, are not enough to convince, there is an accident that always sticks in my mind in relation to helmets. The pilot died from head injuries several hours after the accident, and only a couple of hours before they found him. His helmet was on the backseat when he went in, not on his head.
Huey Accident
There has been a report by either CONCERN or the HAI (I dont have a reference copy) that concluded that despite a great deal of opinoin to the contrary, MOST patients and pax felt that helmets made the flight crew look MORE professional and DID NOT scare them!!
Me wear one!
