Chris Frisella at Bonehead Composites makes a _really good_ helmet for pilots. He's an RV guy too.

Had a guy at our field take off in his One Design and the Tilt Over canopy opened up on the climb out. It stayed hinged but smacked the right wing shattering the glass and then came back and smacked him in the head. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet.
