It's getting to the stage now where everyone needs a hard hat and a hi viz vest just to walk out the front door to park the rubbish bin.

Makes you wonder how they got through World War 1 and 2 without the safety kit and the inspectors/paperwork.

It won't be long before grandma has a SWAT jacket with all the tools.

What's next..rent a moped on holiday with bone dome and leathers?

Fly the Robbo with the clown suit,ribbons and hat. More chance of dying in the R22 than a turbine helicopter.

Turboshaft...
The helmets were worn in 'nam to deflect bullets. You don't find them whizzing past too much these days.I doubt most of the big mouth's here have ever been to Vietnam

What next...parachutes for all fixed wing pilots to complement their nomex suits and four bars?
