Default Shouldn't have worn a helmet

"An Australian base jumper has been killed after her parachute
failed to open during a practice jump off a Malaysian skyscraper."

"Her parachute became entangled in a camera on her safety helmet,
according to fellow base-jumper Gary Cunningham."

1. A camera would probably void the warranty on the safety helmet?
2. It would make the helmet less protective surely?
3. Was she really expecting to need to record dangerous overtaking at
10,000 feet?

**** me, but you are thick.

Not only is the post OT, nobody is suggesting cyclists have cameras on
helmets.

****.

a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport.
