Was the driver in someones boat for a PR in the rain and the helmet was absolutly amazing, couldn't hear much but make the ride bearable. Without it, it probably wouldn't have left the dock.

WTF!!! Imagine one of those coming at ya @ 90 mph!!!:poopoo: You'd need a canopy, not a helmet.

I've had some close encounters with gulls. Killed one and had to duck for a few. I don't figure a gull in the face @ 70-80 mph would feel very good.

No helmet, but do bust out the ski goggles with stocking cap when it is cold, rainy, etc. I've run through torrential rains in the the googles and they work great.

Why in the rain?

I ride in Black Hawk helicopters, we use skateboard or hockey helmets. I just wish I had a boat I could do 90mph.

I think helmets are a grand idea, I even where them in the cabin on certain occasions.
