I like that they're all wearing helmets while in the jacuzzi. Because, you know, it would be completely irresponsible not to. (They're probably more worried about knocking a helmet off the side by accident, if they were taken off, than the utility of wearing a helmet should the cables holding the jacuzzi break.)
- tlrobinson 12y agoIt looks like they all have safety harnesses/ropes. I'd be glad to be wearing a helmet if my jacuzzi were to suddenly drop out from under me.
- SideburnsOfDoom 12y agoThe real issue is that a jacuzzi full of water weights a lot. The bridge is not designed for holding such a large load on the edge. A helmet won't help you for this, and a harness and rope attached to the bridge at the same point as the jacuzzi may not either.
- donny554 12y agoThe helmets may be worn to protect from objects falling from above.
- verytrivial 12y agoI would assume this was to protect against falling champagne flutes.
- fla 12y agoOne can't image how hard a small little object falling from a few dozen meters can hit you. That's what the helmets are for ;)
- PJDK 12y agoThe reason is that there are lots of people on the edge of the cliff fiddling around with carabiners and other bits of gear and it's quite easy to drop one by accident. Being hit by a lump of metal is pretty unpleasant. Climbing helmets are designed to divert glancing blows from falling objects, not save you from falling. Often with sports climbing you'll see the person belaying (at the bottom holding the rope) wearing a helmet, while the person half way up the climb isn't - the risk is the climber will drop something on the person at the bottom.
