RE: helmet vs. headset

[SUllrich@att.net]

I remember hearing a story of a flight crew in South 
Dakota that put a BO-105 into the water hard.  The 
aircraft sank before the crew could get out. The entire 
crew wore helmets and all got out alive.  They felt that 
the helmets kept them conscious and able to egress 
safely.
