Azhigher Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm just throwing this out there, but if you flew for a living you probably wouldn't watch as many helicopter videos on youtube. Flying would just be normal... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0331 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I've only tandem jumped a few times but just wore a stupid padded hat to keep me from knocking the instructors teeth out. NONE of the tandem instructors had helmets. Some individual jumpers did, but I always assumed it was for wind/bugs. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHuh, I guess its just me, but skydiving always seemed like one of those things people would wear a helmet for,...? Oh well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0331 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I don't think a helmet will help in most situations where a divers head is hitting the ground. Statistically its a very safe sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisePilot Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Though most skydivers do wear helmets, neither the USPA or BPA require helmets to be worn (except for students). However, both require 50 jumps to wear a full-face helmet and 200 jumps to wear a camera helmet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
