This Gopro camera apparently survived a fall from a plane . Found 8 months later, still intact, with some interesting video to watch.

Fell in and the hog ate it! My old man would have
been so happy! That was one of his favorite
sayings...
 

I do a fair amount of snowmobiling and have thought of getting one to record riding, but I know that it would not stand up to the riding that I do. Sure enough this last Saturday I went into the puckers and broke the shield on my helmet and put another crack in the hood. If I had had a helmet cam I probably wouldn't have been able to find it.

I've never tried the helmet mount but I've ran for miles on the trike with my Gopro clamped to it to the rack without it shaking loose.. I've even used a suction mount to hold it to the side of vehicles or machinery. Only time I had it come loose was on a cold day, inside the cab of the tractor. Maybe the cold glass caused the suction cup to lose it's seal.
