See the other thread; the RRS does not specify what a PFD is ...

Oh look, helmet and crash vests on the AC crew, maybe it'll filter down to you lot one day...


So now, who is ahead of his time as usual?

F1 drivers have been wearing helmets, neck braces and fire proof suits for years; do you wear one when you drive your car?

They've been wearing helemts from the get-go with the AC45s. Things I really don't want to have to consider- I think that pipe over his right shoulder may be his emergency air supply.
 
(as a side note- are they wearing wetsuits like they do on the 45s on the 72s, or something a bit closer to normal yacht gear?)
