Lost my helmet

Recommended Posts

On Saturday I landed off the DZ. No big deal landed in a field and got picked up by a passer by right away. I put my rig andhelmet in the back of their pickup and rode back to the dz. And I forgot my helmet in their truck. I know that these people are from the local area and I have no doubt that they will return it when they find. But until then I have been having to wear protecs, christ do they suck

At least you might get yours back in one piece. Lost a brand new, 2 jumps on it, Factory Diver 3 years ago on jump run. I wasn't used to a full face and had it just sitting on the top of my head when I stuck my head out the door to spot for a low time jumper and off of my head she blew, thought about going after it for a second.

Hey! Pro-tecs are sexy bitch lids! Better than full-face wimpout options, unless you do comp. RW, in which case visors help. Plus a pro-tec only costs about £30, as opposed to £75 or so for Gath.

This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead. Replies, insults, sexual favours and death threats to be sent there from now on.

I was on a sit fly 2 years ago at the richmond boogie when in free fall I saw my buddies helmet fly off.... the funny thing is he went to his belly like he was going to float up to it:)!! about 2 hours later a farmer came to the dz with helmet in hand...he claimed he was watching tv and heard an odd sound...it hit his house! the helmet was virtually unscathed..only a few minor scratches to remind him to strap it on next time..:)

I wear a Ptotec cause it's like wearing no hat at all
in freefall...the air blows right through...but they
said by now I have hearing damage. No sign of that
yet. A full face is like being indoors, like playing
a video game. If you add, cypress, pro dyter, etc...
it is a video game!

I know i guy whose Z1, with a pro-track in it, blew off his head early last season on a jump. He was bummed, and bought a new helmet and audible. Then in November a farmer found it in his fioeld and brought it to the DZ. Now the guy has a spare.
