That's interesting, but I worry about safety. I saw in the news that the severity of Schumacher's accident was due to the support of the camera (GoPro?) he was using at his helmet at the time.

If someone could confirm this, please. But a rigid cilinder (as I imagine consists a cam support) on a helmet might be an issue.

Presumably, the issue is a non smooth helment. One option would be to use a fiber optic line to seperate the camera's location from immage capture. The other is a slightly taller helment with a built in camera window. Sure it would be bulky but I doubt an extra inch or so would mean all that much and looking at celphone camra's you could probably make it vary thin.

They don't have the cameras on for normal games, it's just for the All-star game which is this weekend. It's notorious for being easy-going and low on hits.
