I go to College for Creative Studies and was assigned the task of designing a helmet specifically for the base jumping sport. I'm seeking help from real people that participate in the incredibly thrilling sport of base jumping. Replies consisting of information valuable to designing a base jumping helmet would be useful in my process.
What are some positives/negatives of the helmets you all wear while performing a base jump?
What should be improved with the helmets?
Are full-face helmets preferred?
Why doesn't everyone wear a helmet when performing a jump?
What are the most important aspects to include in a base jumping helmet?
These are just general questions I came up with on the spot, but any information you can provide for my design process would be truly appreciated. You don't have to blatantly answer these questions, just post information that you think would help.
Also, i would like to know what types of helmets you all are currently jumping in; whats the best on the market right now?
If given some good information I can incorporate in my design, I would be happy to post sketches and ideation for some feedback.
Thank you all.
Drew.
