I've hit hard twice in accidents. once with no shoulder harness and we
both jacknifed over the seatbelts into the panel with resulting
face/head injuries. 2nd time was in a Piper Pawnee while crop spraying
and with seat belt/harness and helmet. I usually adjust the seatbelt
and harness so I have at least 4-6" from my face to the stick when I
try to bend over. even so, I had my face turned inboard when I hit the
crash rollpad with the helmet. Not enough to dent anything but it sure
stretched my neck a bit! I'm pleased to say I've since accumulated many
thousands of hours without further accidents or injuries. I hope to
continue with that record...but ya just never know.......
