A Swedish skydiver with a GoPro on his helmet jumped from a plane at 10,000 feet, and after less than a minute, the GoPro broke free and fell to the ground. Fascinating video.

The next time I'm on a plane, I hope it'll be made out of whatever it is that they make GoPros out of!
It wouldn't help. It's like the difference between dropping a mouse down a mine shaft and dropping you* down it. (One of you isn't going to be walking away.)
* No, I'm not suggesting dropping you, in particular, down a shaft.
Something like a big badminton 'birdie' with the camera in the nose?
That would need some study. I'd like to see data from an actinograph and use a goniometer to observe the vehicle in flight. The reflectance ratio of the yawing moment would determine synoptic correlation of angular momentum with inertial dispersion. To form a reliably accurate opinion, I would have to use the schlieren method to exclude divergent anomalies from the calculations. I know - easier said than done.

I saw that and didn't know at first that the camera had come off his head. Then, with all that spinning and dizziness that would follow, I fully expected him to just go splat!
