Snipped...

But wouldn't those with "access" problems i.e. with the camera strapped to
their heads, control the camara via a lanc remote?

I'd speculate that such users wouldn't have the time (or inclination) to
do little other than press the 'record' button. I'd be inclined to switch
the thing on in the aircraft and switch it off after hitting the ground
(with or without deployed parachute). I hardly think that they'd be
plummeting towards terra firma for more than an hour at a time (or an
hour-and-a-half on LP) :-) A sort of skydivers's crash recorder :-)

Just for info guy's

I have my HC30E set to easy cam as I have found this gives me the best
results. I check the focus and zoom prior to putting my helmet on 5 min
before leaving the plane. I have a Lanc remote called a Cam Eye which as
well as offering a remote record button, gives me an LED that shows that the
camera is on and either Recording or that there is a power/tape problem.

If your interested I can post some of my footage for you to check out.
