Are you worried that the strings holding your wings on will break?
I've been thinking about getting one of these:

Mostly because your hair flapping around in the wind gets pretty old on a 15 hour flying day.
But, if such a thing existed, with some impact protection as well...why not?

Campbell Aero Classics
Their helmets are popular with many in the warbird movement. Practical modern protection with a somewhat vintage appearance. A bit spendy though...north of $2K last I heard a couple of years ago.

N7155H--1946 Piper J-3 Cub
N3368K--1946 Globe GC-1B Swift
N4WJ--1994 Van's RV-4
Those are the ones. Made down in NZ to go with all the vintage aircraft they have imported. That is what Kermit Weeks uses.
Only thing that will effectively keep your face from becoming one with the panel is a good, properly adjusted shoulder harness. The purpose of a helmet is to protect your brain from serious head injury.
Watch this and THEN ask yourself whether or not Harrison Ford will ever fly again:

Oh there's more... They keep coming...

Harrison Ford Flies Again After Fatal Plane Crash

Harrison Ford flies for the first time three months after his fatal plane crash on March this year.
With the help of a co-pilot, the excited 72-year old flew his 2013 Bell 407 helicopter in the skies of Santa Monica for a couple of hours, People reports.
The flying zombieResurrection works for him too?

I guess proofreaders must be too expensive to keep on staff these days. Un-freaking-believable that no one caught that.Harrison Ford flies for the first time three months after his fatal plane crash on March this year.

One of the local so called news broadcast seemed amazed that someone who crashed a plane could just go out and fly.
I spent the most of the report calling the reporter a dumb ass and correcting him on the description of the Bell 307.
Unfrapping believable.
Just saw video of his appearance at comic-con. Looks like he's getting around pretty well. Nice to see.
The airplane was undoubtedly used as a WW2 trainer. At that time it must have had seat belts and shoulder harnesses installed and it's probable they would have been attached to the frame as they were in my Stearman.

Could be they were replaced by an idiot much later?? He's lucky the golf course was there, an open space, or his 180 could have been tragic. I always liked him as an actor and especially how he got into acting.
