no one is suggesting that a camera is a substitute for defensive riding, common sense, on-road bike training course, etc.

A student asked his old Sufi Master if he should tie up his camel for the night, so that it wouldn't wander away while they were sleeping or if doing so was an insult to God. Should he leave the camel untied to show his trust in God that the camel wouldn't run away? The Master replied "Trust God AND tie up your camel."
ride safely AND get video.

worst case scenario: the police and coroner can use my video to identify my killer.
