What happens when your video camera that drives the flat screen for front vision vibrates loose and falls off at 300mph?

The human powered vehicle (HPV) guys can tell you all about how it works at 60mph, at 200 or 300mph I imagine the scrape marks are longer and deeper!

If you define success as not crashing, nobody has managed this successfully yet.

If you define insanity as doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, it would be best to learn from the mistakes of others before trying this lest people think your insane :)

I'm not saying it can't be done, but I've seen many HPV's try it and later cut a hole for a canopy, and they are operating in an environment where safety is often overlooked or taken lightly.
