A "splat" on that thing doesn't look like it would be all that ... "safe"!!!      :shock:

I would give that pilot the same advice that I gave to Gabe Jebb when he was kiting his paraglider at Torrey:

Yes, BobK ! :thumbup:
Look forward to the family of helmets that integrate whole torso to relieve the head while better protecting the neck from breaks.
