Do not use the head strap mount on a helmet without a backup cord.

This is just what happened to me


Sorry for the shitty quality, I made this last year in about 30 minutes of movie maker
Also, I met the guy while skiing at revy this season

put head strap under helmet. actually nevermind i dont think that would work.


But if you are using your gopro for swimming or cliff jumping. Just follow these steps for a float.
1. get an old swimming noodle with a hole through the center
2. cut a 6in or so chunk off
3. loop rope through hole in the noodle
4. Use handle bar or role bar mount over the rope.
5. HAVE FUN.

OR you could
1. tie gopro with wifi backpack to fishingline about three feet up
2. Watch fish as you try to catch them

Although im not sure if the wifi backpack would work under water

for some reason being able to see underwater in rivers, lakes, ocean, ect. has sketched me out. like wearing goggles while swimming in a lake. its kind of creepy.
