Re: Saturday Slipperyness
I realise I'm not Mufynman, but never mind 'eh
Having stuck one of the mounts in the wrong place, and then tried to remove it am quite sure it ain't going to fall off in a hurry - the helmets paint would come of first!!
What isn't such a sure thing is the camera staying in the actual mount. Mr Mufy suggested sticking the mount in the direction that would mean the camera fits down into it getting a bit of help from gravity to stay in place.
Bit late for me though, as it's already welded in the conventional place. So if you can invent a tether system will be very interested

We both use the side.
I tried the top, but only ever filmed the floor from there

Mufy Patent no 69765 - Drift Camera Lanyard
Drill 2 little holes on underside of mount , you can then thread through a bit of wire , I use bag ties , tie it off , then you can thread the other end into one of the eyes on the camera bit , and job done . I had mine pop out once after hitting a tree , so this would just make it dangle until you pulled over . You have to use quite thin wire so not to get in the way of the camera bit when it pushes into the mount .
You're welcome .

Re: Saturday Slipperyness
Thanks lads. Thats great. I thought of a fishing swivel & fine trace wire. Hopefully I'll show you on Xmas ride.
