There are regs covering this. NVG fittings. Pull weight of disconnecting cables on emergency egress. About 8lbs from memory. Similarly, the weight of cables to/from the helmet causing neck strain and headaches. Schumacher of all people would have been aware of this hazard. It is said he was just as good as the engineers who designed his cars. In fact, FI go further than aviation regs. It's a serious subject but one cannot legislate for a cavalier attitude or just simply switching off while away from the track.
