steve1 5 #3 November 3, 2003 I didn't have any head injuries before going to jump school at Benning, but it's a wonder more folks didn't end up with severe brain injury. For almost 60 years paratroopers jumped with a steel pot on there head. No kidding. It had a plastic liner and webbing inside, but it just didn't work too well when you cracked the back of your head on the ground. I don't know much about the knew kevlar helmets, but I'd bet they are better than the old ones.....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #6 November 3, 2003 Look, having said that all volunteers deserve our admiration and respect, only a propellor-head would be surprised to discover that the folks that further volunteered to be airborne troopers were more likely to get their melons cracked than other types of soldiers.
