Leather helmet

>>and how much is the the cheapest one you bought ?<<

The price of gas should be so stable.

The first one I bought was $78.

But, Frap Hats, I'm pretty sure, have been 120 U.S. dollars for the past twenty years . . . ?

I still wear my Frap Hat.

~To the BAR doesn't count Nick!

I like taking it off after opening and clipping it to a lateral.

~I just push mine back behind me...like a 'hooded' sweatshirt, might drop it if I un clip it!

Anyone remember when skydiving was about freedom . . . ?

~Not if ya started after about 85....


And here's a little secret.

You look like an idiot doing this! LOL . . .

~Always makes me wonder which is on backward...helmet or head!

Head? HEAD??? Who said Head....I'll take some of THAT!

~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~

I'd rather be an old fart than a newbie, DOA.

A leather hat use to be the cool thing to wear because the alternative was a motorcycle helmet. Hard helmets have saved a lot of head injuries in freefall and on the ground. Just like with motorcycle helmets though , there are always going to be people who don't think the added safety is worth the money or being closed in. I love a hard helmet because the wind noise is so much less and I enjoy the skydive more. Some people like the wind though. I'll still take the safety factor. I've been hit hard enough in freefall that I was glad to have a hard helmet on.

I bought one from EG last year at the convention for $65
(dealer price) because I lost my helmut doing the biplane
jump

I think if we still all wore them we'd be more careful . . .
