Federal helmet code which NYS uses…
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=571.218
from that…
S5.5 Projections. A helmet shall not have any rigid projections inside its shell. Rigid projections outside any helmet’s shell shall be limited to those required for operation of essential accessories, and shall not protrude more than 0.20 inch (5 mm).
but that is for helmet manufacturers, so I dont know if it counts if you add something, especially considering it would break free in a crash
That is my exact thoughts, I mean I see no danger in it and force coming from a fall bad enough to break your neck that camera is deffenitly snapping loose first lol…
