npgraphicdesign 2 #1 September 4, 2011 So, yesterday on opening my Bonehead slipped off my head and bye bye it went! It was an older one, about 4 years old, so while I'm a bit upset about it, thankfully it wasn't a brand new helmet with a full camera setup. So, I need a new helmet. But...I want to buy a cheap (as in, no extra bells/whistles/etc) open-face that at most has an interior pocket for an audible. The reason is that I want a relatively cheap helmet is that I want to refinish it and put some of my artwork on it. Any suggestions from fellow skydivers?

npgraphicdesign 2 #7 September 4, 2011 Quote Next time make sure to have your helmet properly secured I can properly secure my boot somewhere if ya want. All jokes aside, the strap that fed through the clasp has always been a bit loose, so before every jump I made sure to tighten it and snap it closed. I bought it second (or maybe even third) hand and put 100+ jumps on it. So either it was a hard opening that tore it loose (which it didn't feel like) or the clasp broke...most likely the latter. Guess I'll never know... Wait...so if this is the first piece of skydiving equipment I lost do I owe...aww crap, yes I do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agentsmith413 0 #8 September 5, 2011 first of all, stop bitching about a lost helmet. get over it cry babysecond i must say it was pretty funny seeing you with a helmet inthe plane and no helmet on the ground. so just think of the great story you're gonna have for the newbie skydivers Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, all used up, and loudly proclaiming: Wow, what a ride!

Maybe you need to change those Gatorz you wear to prescription Gatorz. At least you'll look cool and still have some eyesight left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virgin-burner 1 #11 September 5, 2011 talking about eyesight; not having a clue over what type of terrain you lost it, isnt there a chance of finding it!? a helmet is seemingly a big enough object to find it again.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

I know roughly where I opened. Most likely it ended up in the woods. But if you want to go digging through the woods for my helmet until you find it, I'll even buy you a ticket here.
