I know the thinking was the camera could cause an injury but a peak mounted one could possibly do a lot of damage in a fall such as Jazon Doyle's at the weekend.. I also realise a lot of HSE type rules/laws are a fair bit into the beinv struck by lightning percentages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also realise a lot of HSE type rules/laws are a fair bit into the beinv struck by lightning percentages. Just to be sure I have checked the regs. 01.67 A helmet is made to provide protection. It is not a platform to attach foreign objects. Cameras and/or other accessories are NOT permitted nor shall be attached to the rider's helmet. So like you say the peak may be safe, especially if it has a green M on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 As most riders use coloured helmets for each gate position, why not remove the peak so as not to have a tape infringement as the tapes rise & catch the peak.

I think it’s likely the front wheel has touched the tape well before the peak on a helmet. Seems the helmet peak catches when they have gone through the tapes with the wheel and carried on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
