Alles over Samsung SC-X210WL Wireless Helmet-Cam | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Gizmodo | 2006-07-20 01:50:12
Designed for extreme sporting events like extreme skydiving, extreme mountain biking, extreme skateboarding and extreme bush-peeping, the SC-X210WL wireless helmet-cam lets you catch all the action while keeping both hands free to participate.
The SC-X210 is an upgrade of their old sports camcorder that cuts the wire between the helmet-cam and the camcorder. The helmet part has a fifteen-foot range from the base camcorder, so you're going to have to still carry both pieces around. Its 1GB of internal memory records up to 34 minutes of MPEG4 video, and can be expanded via SD slot.
There's also 10x optical zoom for when you really want to focus in and get 10 times as extreme. Available in September for $679. – Jason Chen

Alles over Motorcycle fatalities have soared after helmet law repeal | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Attu sees all | 2006-06-20 13:45:54
Motorcycle fatalities involving riders without helmets have soared in the nearly six years since Gov. Jeb Bush repealed the state's mandatory helmet law, a newspaper reported Sunday.
A Florida Today analysis of federal motorcycle crash statistics found "unhelmeted'' deaths in Florida rose from 22 deaths in 1998 and 1999, the years before the helmet law repeal, to 250 deaths in 2004, the most recent data available. By comparison, Florida logged 270 deaths of riders without helmets during the 1990s, when riding without a helmet was illegal, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports. http://attu.blogspot.com/2006/06/motorcycle-fatalities-have-soared.html
