Not generally a problem, because it's super cheap to throw a 32GB card in there, and almost no camera (other than the Fly6) has enough battery life to record long enough to overwrite the beginning of your ride on a 32G card.

On the Fly6, it has a crash mode - if the angle of the camera exceeds I think 30 degrees, it assumes you've been in a crash and enters crash mode. In this mode it locks the record on, records for one more hour, then shuts off. With a big card, this is still not enough to overwrite the last hour at least, and it'll get most any interaction with the other parties, bystanders, police, etc.

When I say "locked" you can still force it to turn off, it just disables the auto-off feature, which shuts the camera off if it hasn't detected any movement for 5 minutes.
