How tough is a GoPro?

Steve, the GoPro would have stayed on had you not been driving like my son. He goes at every rock, every puddle, every stump.

I have the Hero2 and love it. I am leaving for Powell in the morning and I will video the tube of DEATH. We pull two 4 man tubes and try to kill the teenagers. Here is one of last years. We used the tour boat wake to help with getting air. Two of the kids nearly died. Laughing too hard, choked in the water. I should say they nearly died laughing.

As a teenager we had a boat and would pull two two-man tubes and have wars. We called them the Body Beaters. If only I had a gopro strapped to my head for some of those rides...
 
Interesting thread. As I was driving down a rutted/washboard road this morning, I was thinking of mounting my son's GP under the X to see what was rattling. The only problem we've had with his was when I dropped it and scratched the lens in the case.

That's kinda the point ;)

THere were only about 4" of clearance between the GoPro and the ground. I thought I could pick a line well enough to avoid it being knocked off, but I was wrong.
