I once fell off the back of a MRAP while wearing my Kevlar and the helmet hit a large pointed rock. It was the closest thing I got to a Combat action ribbon all deployment.

I wear my schwinn bike helmet when I daydream about operating. I used a sharpie to black out "schwinn" and I wrote "Haley" and drew a dragonfly. I put flames around the dragonfly so when people say, "Haley doesn't make helmets" I can say they asked me to beta test their new line. I duct taped my GoPro on it to imitate that NVG look without that nvg price tag.

Most of the guys at the shooting range can't tell the difference. I think.

I snagged my NOD mount on my way out of a Blackhawk one time. Spraining my neck at the start of the mission was not an operator move. I did not look cool.

Coworker- "Should you really be watching that kind of video at work?"
Me- "Should you really be breaking OPSEC and policy by looking at my screen?"

I'm a little disappointed you didn't tell your marines out there to wear a bump helmet at all times. For their safety.

[Granolees]

I have absolutely no need for a helmet nor do I need to know how to set one up but I'm here to look cool and that's all that matters.

Break away/fall away mounts are good. Here's my input from experience with them in a Blackhawk crash. I used to fasten the lanyard of NVG's high up on the rear of helmet, because I didn't like it dangling on my neck, so wore it that way.. It was always fine. Then one night was in a 30 plus G crash from 536 AGL. Hit so damn hard that they fell away as designed.. However, the shitty part was the NVG's slammed me in the jaw really really hard. Felt like a.really solid bare knuckle punch to the jaw. Busted skin open on the jaw line.. Back of helmet was busted up from smacking head on back of seat.. The worst injury was the broken back. The biggest wound hands down would be what the Army did to me after the injury. The sole reason I talked my sons out of serving.. Point blank. They don't give a fuck!! So, much so they will cut you loose without being fixed to only suffer at the utter incompetence of the V.A. . uncle Sam as it turns out is a grimy prick.

During my basic, when we first got our very first helmets, we thought that they were invincible (back then) and that they'd protect us from all sorts of bumps and even bullets. So me and a buddy decided to charge at each other like two pairs of rhinos and bump our helmets against each other. At least the nurse in the infirmary was pretty hot.

I just have a sign that says “please dont shot hed”. My nvg is just the happy meal spy kids night vision goggles.

Friend of mine cracked a vertebrae jumping out of the passenger seat of an uparmored Hilux. Went to stand up and out of the truck and his ACH got the door frame and it make a cool popping noise. We weren’t even taking contact he was just stoked to be back in time for dinner chow.

This community is full of some awesome people and great humor. Im truly thankful to live in a time such as this with all of you rowdy degenerates. Keep the brass hot garand thumb and friends.

For part of my dads service he was a M113 commander in a mechanized infantry unit during the Cold War. On an exercise, there was a low hanging branch that he didn’t see coming at him. His head was sticking out of the track, so the branch hit him while the M113 was moving. It tore his helmet off and almost broke his neck. He didn’t get any lasting injuries, so he continued to serve.

Crazy how far production has come. Came back to this since I just got RNVGs a couple months ago and just about have my bucket all done.

MY MOM MAKES ME WEAR A HELMET WHEN WATCHING ANIME.

[nstscanada]

As I made my ascent to the target, I flipped down my PVS-14 gen III, thankful in the knowledge that I received from this video. After coming around a bend and making my final ascent, I crawled hoping that the noise from the awkward sliding would not be heard by the midget guards who were sleeping. There! The target was is sight! Gleaming white and square, I knew this to be a most critical moment for when I would open the door the inside light would take away my night vision and leave me defenseless for a few precious seconds. I flipped up my NOD and it instantly turned off. I decided to go for broke and enter explosively, I ripped open the door, eyes squinting from the new light, but I had achieved my mission, the leftover pot roast was there exposed, ready for the

Great vids Garandthumb keep em coming

Ive been saving my allowance for 3 weeks now. Is 18$ enough to buy this helmet? I want to look cool for my next airsoft game.

This man's helmet is more valuable than my car

[TacticalTrainer]

Was in the back of a Bradley and wasn’t wearing my helmet, which is the wrong answer, and we went down a wadi without warning. Everyone in the back started levitating and I hit my head on the ceiling, then we slammed into the bottom and I hit my head on a bar going across the roof... it hurt
