Yes, the rock was smashed to pieces (could have been Schumacher's head though)

How do you know it was a GoPro? I cannot see that mentioned by name in the article.
The helmet cracking can be a benefit as it uses up energy, moving it away from the brain.
At the end of the day, he made a decision to go off-piste, and he hit a rock. If he had no head protection, his skull hitting the rock would have likely been worse.
Some people (and not saying that this applies in this case) think they are indestructable because they wear a helmet which makes them more likely to take risk and ski outwith their capability.

It was on the radio news this morning (in France). Here a report[^].

Well in this very vase, it seems that it exposed the head to the rock, so his skull more or less hit the rock through the shattered helmet.

Very true, and this is exactly what I have pointed out when it was first discussed here one year ago.

It was reported by JL Moncet, a French journalist who talked to Ralf Schumacher, and who used to live comment formula one grand prix.

Many skydiving schools prohibit people from wearing helmet cams for the first 200 jumps, as there is a tendency for people with helmet cams to lose situational awareness and to take unnecessary risks.

And if he didn't have a GoPro affixed to his helmet, would he have even been wearing a helmet?

So I came across a very interesting quiz. So lets see who can get this one...
I go to a food stall and buy a burger, chips and a cool drink.
The drink is $ 0.30 and the burger is & 1.00 more than the chips. So if I paid $ 1.60 for the meal, how much did I pay for the chips?

Correct. I will find out what the conversion is for &
Although that looks like homer rubbing his butt on the carpet, so how much beer can Homer drink with $1?

It depends...
if homer has to pay the each beer he drinks, I don't think much.
But your statement does not clarify the aspect. If the $1 stays in the pocket because he is getting invited then the answer would probably be "infinite"

I like this answer better. &1 could be anything. 1 leg or 1 arm or perhaps a cow?

D + B + C = 160
D = 30
B = C + 100
:=>
30 + (C + 100) + C = 160
2C = 160 - 100 - 30
C = 30 / 2
C = 15

It was so simple I've been reading the question over and over looking for the trick cos I couldn't believe it would have been posted unless there was one.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Some people think of it like this.
$1.60 - $0.30 = $1.30
So if the burger is $1 more the answer is $0.30 because $1.30 - $1 = $0.30 
Sad part is when I asked other people some of them really had that 'logic'...

They'll be OK, I believe all fast food places have tills that work the prices out for you so when they're selling this stuff they shouldn't get it wrong.
