Anythings possible in this sport. In one scenario the go pro could break and take some of the force, in others it could trasfer it. What if you hit it on something with it mounted under your visor and it trasnferred it to your head? What if...
At the end of the day you evaluate the risks yourself and do what you need to to minimize them. If that means leaving the camera at home for you then no biggy. I honestly think its probably more likely to run into trouble with the assorted handbar mounted goods. Camera, gps etc as we all know that bars and ribs can align all too easily. |

Smashing the GoPro is the least of my worries when rippin' it up through the woods. you can replace a camera faster and cheaper than healing a busted body part.

I don't have a go pro so I wouldn't know which way to mount would be better but I can say from a viewers perspective that I like watching the ones that are mounted to the helmet. Seems like the picture is more stable and when you go up hills, you aren't looking straight into the bars. Just looks more like it does when riding when it is on the helmet. Just my opinion...and we all know what those are like.
I have often wondered about it catching tree limbs and stuff though. I'd hate to get ripped off the bike like that. |

I like that as well, but the bars may be a little close for the lens I have in mine now. The more narrow FOV makes these setups more critical. I should try it, along with the chin bar mount.

I hate trying to watch a video from a chest mounted camera. All you see is the handlebars and triple clamps bouncing up and down. In fact, if the post describes the video and mentions it is chest mounted, I won't even click on the link to the video.
I have the Liquid Image goggles and really like the product. You don't have to worry if the cameral is aimed at the correct angle.

I've seen good and bad from all. The only ones I really don't like are the standard helmet mounts that fill 30% of the view with visor or helmet. The under visor mount is very good, just has to be fabricated and setup properly for adjustability and also to not get in your FOV as a rider.
