I was presently surprised moving to Australia to find that it was compulsory to have a helmet while on a bicycle.

Many on my cycle run have been attaching go-pro mounts to their skull cover; I wonder how ineffective it renders the helmet if you landed straight on it.

It's been alleged that having a Go-Pro camera on his ski helmet contributed to the severity of Michael Schumacher's injury.

Of course, this is very hard to prove.

The helmet really isn't the best place for a video camera anyway; I've ridden quite a bit with a GoPro and found that the chest mount gives the best view of the action.
