I would doubt that there would be any insurance benefit, and the police could seize any footage if they think you have been a bit naughty. By all means fiit one, but just watch back footage for fun!

That said, I have very often bolted my gopro to my zx6r fairings when we go away. Have had some great shots from it.
If your looking for a helmet mounted camera though but your not too fussed about quality then stay away from the gopro’s and intova’s because they become a big wind drag which is annoying as it’s constantly pulling at your head.
Have a look at the AT68 or Ramos d9. I use a Ramos D9 on my mountain bike helmet. Super lightweight you forget it’s there, but bear in mind it’s not overly waterproof unlike the AT68.
You will need to play around with the position too because I found when you mount a helmet camera, the position you stand and look in a mirror is different to your position when riding.
