I would think very carefully about putting a GoPro on a helmet. It's the reason that Michael Schumacher had such devastating brain injuries and was in a coma.

Mount the GoPro securely where you can't come into contact with it.

Apparently the GoPro hit the rock and punched through his helmet.

Ouch! Yeah I never thought of it that way. Shame, as it gives a great PoV. I bet he wasn't wearing a cheap helmet, either.

Never heard that story before.
I can't imagine even a GoPro (with mount) could do that much damage to a ski helmet.

The French journalist who linked Michael Schumacher's head injuries to the GoPro camera he was wearing when the accident took place has backtracked on his comments, insisting it was "his opinion".

Jean Louis Moncet, a well-known Formula 1 journalist in France, initially claimed the camera was "part of the problem" and seemed to suggest he had spoken to Schumacher's son, Mick, who presumably passed on the details.
