The cable tv program "Rock Stars" featured construction workers scaling
loose rock on the White Pass highway through the Washington Cascade
Mountains and several of the workers were wearing GoPro cams on their
hard-hats and a couple of them had cams on their chests. Pretty handy
having them video their own shots; saves on costs. Just gather up the SD
cards every hour or so, dump them to your editing machine, and hand 'em
back. Must make the editing seriously tedious though.

But pretty interesting when a television series is using $179 off-the-shelf
cams.
