Have a read about the passenger in this BAe Hawk at RAE Bedford:

ASN Aircraft accident 07-JAN-1982 Hawk T.1 XX344
some lucky guy! (assuming he did not only survive but was in good health).

Still, I don't really see how it applies to helo-operations. when a helicopter lands upside down, well... you know.

But let's assume he had a camera mounted with double-tape, which would not be to his benefits, I would think it would have broken off (his helmet was worn to shred so...).

Don't missunderstand me Mechta, I am NOT saying you SHOULD wear cameras on your helmet, I am just saying that operating with your seatbelt fasten inside a cockpit of a helicopter is not the same as jumping off an airplane, falling off a bike, ejecting off a plane (or landing it upside-down) etc.

My guess is that the camera is more dangerous by the distraction it creates than by the physical hazards it could be.
