    Any referrals or suggestions to a Canadian (Western) surgical facility that dose Endoscopic/Arthroscopic Herniated disk (due to a no wind hard landing) repairs would be greatly appreciated. Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference

    It was ment as Food for thought, and as I wrote, it`s something for the Helmet manufacturer`s R&D people to consider. My ultimate concern is everyones safety, including that unsuspecting sole on the ground with a terminal velocity head gear assembly headed towards them.

    Here's food for thought, after jettisoning ones helmet and camera assembly, why not have a pilot chute(possibly spring loaded akin to resever's)that's stowed inside the top of the helmet. The helmet strap could possibly be a mini version od a 3 ring system, with a line similar to an RSL to the closing loop of the spring loaded pilot. So when the helmet is "cut away", the the pilot pop's out from within the top side of the helmet and it and the camera gear have slow Safe (for those on the ground below) decent. Now it's up to the helmet R&D, and C.A.D. people to take on this project. I'll be happy to have the first one for free. Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. I opted to use a 1/8th" pop rivet with the steel core removed. As can be seen by the attached photo's the swivel mounts locking latch doubles as a mean's to jettison the camera and mount, and aswell there is a teather which only required drilling a 3/32nd" hole.

    Thank you very much Douglas for taking the time to reply, as well as adding the video, I really appreciate your help! My concern as you might understand would be loosing my wife Christmas gift(!) There is a very fine teather cord with the swivel mount, any thought's or recomendation's about it? Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference

    In amongst the 360 swivle mount parts there's a star shaped piece which is the base part that the clamping mechanism closes on to. It comes with the 3M adhesive already attached to it, and my concern is that the tape alone isn't enough to secure the swivle mount and camera in free fall. So I thought that adding a single screw, through the center, might add to the integrity of the assembly. Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference

    I received a ContourRoam, that comes with a couple of choices of 3M double sided adhesive foam tape mounting attachment's Is the 360 degree helmet mount and method of attachment usable? I'm thinking of drilling a single counter sunk hole through the center of the 6 star adhesive mount, and securing it to/though the top of my helmet with an aircraft grade stainless steel counter sunk screw, washer and self locking nut. Any feedback, suggestion's, pro's/ con's, would be appreciated. Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference

    The shot with the camera circling those actresses just put's this film into the "R' rating, title it "Airgasm" Now to fit in some,tracking, hybrid, wing suiting,some kind of plot, skydivers foiling a terrosit W.O.M.D threat?Throw in some ex-special forces types relegated to tandem jumping, freaked out barfing torrists. Also an aircraft mechanic, having always wanted to jump, but just can't quite get it right? Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference

    So maybe we're over due for a Skydiving movie, now just to pick the cast ,Keanu, as a wisen, somewhat occasioanal jumping. But mostly just hanging at the D.Z. trying to inspire newbies, reminising of past day's of glory.Could even have Yancy as his lady partner who's been by his side through all their experiences. I'll leave the rest of the "Plot" and character's for those who might like to possibly build a 2010 sky diving movie fit for skydivers.Oh yah, I'd be available, in my earlier day's I was a helicopter maintenance engineer ( Bell's),up in Canada's Artic. Brrrrr! Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference

    Thanks for reminding me of "Swoop", what is is real name and is he still skydiving &as'nt he in Hill Street Blues for a while? The whole cast appeared to be very much into the sport and it's still an O.K. movie, save for the B.S. deliberate "Gift wrapping". Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be.

    So explain again, how is it (we) are still left with an $8 Billion dept that if one uses the Montreal Olympics as an example, that took 35 years to pay off? Be Brave, embrace the fear, even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference
