has any one else ever had the go pro adhesive mounts fall of of there helmet. last season this happen twice to me. Ones in the park that was all fine and easy to find but the other time i lost it in some powder and it took me a wile to find it. I'm just wondering is there a way to put them on so that there is no chance of the mount falling off when I'm am skiing.
Thank you

use a curved mount

clean helmet with some grease remover
(white spirit or acetone will probably damage/remove the lacquer but sticking the mount straight onto the plastic will make a much stronger bond than sticking it onto the lacquer )

^^you can also take a fine sandpaper and sand the spot down a bit ...

then apply the mount @ room temperature

after applying let it sit for a day before using it ( push it on regularly)

i've been using my gopro for around a year now and i even use it on airbags where you land on your head quite often :D, and it's hanging in fine !

The only time mine fell off was when I blew out my knee, smacked my head real good. It even broke the plastic.
