Seriously guys the real issue is not lack of helmet but rather bad belaying . . .
There should be far more slack in the system then there is, no rope should be taken in, and the belayer should be moving forward to help absorb the shock in the system.
Had any of these things been done individually the end result would have been lessened and if all had been done perfectly then nothing at all would have happened, apart from having a funny video of someone falling upside down . . .
Yes it is an example of how things can go pear shaped and that helmets can help in such situations, and yes there are some possible rope positioning issues (which are basically irellevant if you do the move and don't fall) but the bottom line is the belaying . ..
