Perhaps someone with a doctor friend could ask them this question. If you have a gopro strapped to your chest and come off and land full impact flat on your chest on hardpack or rock what are the health risks? I am guessing it could be quite serious but I am not a doctor
Likely no worse than landing on the rock itself in the first place, but then you'd be out a camera too

Around here lots of guys mount GoPros to the tops of their helmets - I'd be worried about catching a limb and torquing your neck. The slickest set-up I've seen is the Liquid Image goggle camera - true point-of-view filming and the most protected.
