Using a motorcycle helmet for skydiving?

Recommended Posts

Interesting posts.

Weight: Yeah if you buy a cheap one they are going to be about 1kg heavier. But this will have less of an impact on you neck than a top mounted camera.

Visibility: Go put a helmet on, and look down, unless you've got your Imperial Storm Trooper, or Iron Man helmet on, or a neck bigger than fat albert you should be able to see your nipples (blokes). If you're handles are higher than that, you've got a problems anyway.
Actually if you've got a neck like FA then you can probably see your nipples in the Iron Man Helmet.

Visor opening: Ever watched a MotoGP race? I think Nicky Hayden still races, give him a call and ask him what speeds the guys in front do.
;)

They definately offer more protection than the eskys we normally put on our mellons.
But the protection is probably only really benificial to swoopers or a regular jumper than doesn't know how to flare.

The reality is you won't look cool. (Unless you're swooping.)
So best not to wear one.
