Helmets in Flight: Discussing safety in warbirds and GA aircraft, with Flight Chops, Kevin Maher, and Ryan Van Haren.

Flying BC - Pilot Stories and Aviation Adventures

"You know, it would be embarassing to get out of an upside-down SuperCub with a bent-up prop and a scuff on my helmet. But it would be better than not getting out and having to pull me out and waking up three months later with a brain injury." - Steve Thorne, Flight Chops

If you're a fan of Flight Chops on YouTube, you may have recently seen an episode about helmets and his first flight in the Harvard wearing one. On this episode of Flying BC I catch up with Steve for a follow-up now that he's flown with it a few more times. And I also bring Kevin Maher and Ryan Van Haren on board to expand on the idea of whether we should be wearing helmets while flying. Even if you don't think you'll ever wear one, this episode has some great discussion about safety and survival that is worth a listen.

This is just the start of a discussion, so please send your comments and feedback about what we talk about in this episode.
