Apparently his brain injury was caused by a GoPro camera mounted to his helmet according to his son, says an F1 commentator today.
Must confess i have always been reluctant to mount to my bike helmet though it was more to do with the ugly mounting kit which i suspect would be a permanent attachment.

Re: Schumacher's accident and the cause of his injury
whether this is true or not, i have always been a believer that a helmet of what ever discipline is/has not been designed for something to be stuck on the top/side of it. it must be obvious that it will/may impair the integrity of the item under certain conditions.

Re: Schumacher's accident and the cause of his injury
I agree with you both. There are loads of fitting kits available. Having one on your lid doesn't make any sense to me.

Re: Schumacher's accident and the cause of his injury
They're daft....they simply aren't allowed by TDO's here....you're simply fitting a device to your helmet that will impede it's effectiveness....there's no two ways about it, and all the "But I wanna post on YouTube" drivel is not going to change that.

Re: Schumacher's accident and the cause of his injury
Totally agree. A helmet is a piece of certified and tested safety equipment modifying it in anyway from its original design is a big No No IMO.
