I don't know what good the helmut would do. I mean, physically speaking, a spinning prop is like a top. It's gonna spin somewhere due to the twisting forces. It could fly downards and cut my throat, or slide upwards, but then the plane would fall and get me in the back someplace.

I do see the point that it'd make. These guys are old Germans and are very stubbourn. I will give it a shot, apply for AMA since it's only a buck and look for a new field.

Now, just by paying the $1.00, I get 2.5 million dollars in insurance??????? I won't turn 19 until December 23, 2004. Thanks.
