    This is why you safety wire your GoPro or other camera

    Not that this is really news to anyone, but I thought it was interesting to see firsthand. It almost looks like the camera fell out of the case or the case got destroyed on its way to impaling the bike

    This Is What It's Like To Get Hit By A GoPro At 160 MPH

    Scary, but there's no way he was going 160mph when it hit him. He was braking and downshifting for a turn, I think I counted 3 gears to put him in 3rd at most, maybe 80-100mph. I would wire it not only for others safety, but I don't want to lose a ~$300 camera.

    Actually took a GoPro on the chest during round 3 at Nhms this year. It was from an AM in whatever race they combined with SuperTwins.

    The worst part about this thread is it's a Jalopgarbage link.

    The good news is there is minimal text from that shitrag of a journal and just video.

    Sorry I was going to just include the youtube link but thought the background info was useful.
