GoPro chest trauma?
I was just thinking about the safety of attaching a gopro to your body.
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

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.

My mount is hard against the body armour and only held with 2 x velcro straps. In a big impact I imagine the camera would break. The chest plate should also spread the forces some before transferring to the body. I agree probably just like landing on a rock.

about 1/10th what it does when it catches a vine and tries to remove you from the bike
I had to learn that lesson a couple times, mine is now attached to my chest protector, I use the big black plastic thing they come attached to in the box, I cut it down drilled holes in it and zip tied it to my chest protector |

Under visor is very good. A little custom work but when done right its out of the way of getting snagged and you don't even notice it. On the chest protector the size of the GoPro is nothing compared to anything else in the woods to hit or fall on. I think before that happens I'd smash it on the steering damper getting over the bars.

I could never ride like that, one of my helmets it wont fit, and the other one the visor is just entering my vision at it's highest point
I really dislike helmet mounted video, aka vomit cams, I cant watch them unless the rider never ever turns his head |

Ok so general consensus is that I have been watching too much Greys anatomy!
Anyway I figured I would have bigger problems as my head would most likely hir the ground before my chest!
