Hey Johnno,

The idea of wearing a helmet is Hysterical. If he collects the earth on a low pass his body will be basically exploded into atoms and he'll leave a strawberry Jam smudge over 100m of rocks ............ but at least his head will be OK! LOL

Helmet helps with a few things; legal requirements, accident flight recorder mounting, reducing RAC premiums, preventing ice cream headaches, post mortem identification... Pretty lameo effort really, he should try it at night in the mist.

In the words of seinfeld:

You jump out of that plane and that chute doesn't open,
the helmet is now wearing you for protection.
Later on, the helmet's talking with the other helmets:
"It's a good thing he was there or I would have hit the ground directly."

i'll be interested to see how he lands it without a base rig as that is his next major project
he is pretty well the best known base jumper ..most of the base community are notorious for being reluctant to give anything to the media ..
illegal in OZ ,fine in some parts of the states and Europe
way outta my league!

Here's a doco on Jeb (guy from the top video). Also show's the consequences when you don't clear a bridge. Definitely worth checking out!

saw this a while ago, I think they had video of the actual impact before (i could be wrong).

Still looks like a blast to do. I suppose you'd have to do some base jumping first maybe.

clearly the helmet is for when clipping tree branches at 180kph.
