I got my helmit stuck in a sqeeze chimney once. I was out on lead and could'nt move my head to get gear or do anything except curse like a sailor. Alot of other times the helmit stayed on for about half the route and it got too hot.

Um... seeing as how the last person that was killed at the red died from a HEAD INJURY (the computer just yelled back at me for typing in all caps~how cute?) I should think that by now it should be caveat emptor... it's like clipping old pitons at seneca- maybe they don't hold and that's fine, but if they did, then clipping them isn't such a bad idea...
