My friends & I have played with the GoPro extensively for skydiving, BASE jumping, snowboarding, surfing, skating, climbing etc and it works a treat for getting angles on the fly that you would otherwise struggle to get full stop. You just need to be aware of the limitations, it is not a replacement for 'proper' cameras (and limitations extend beyond image quality, I had a close friend die due to having one on her helmet, BFL # 157 - http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/wiki/BASE_Fatality_List).
The GoPro is capable of taking brilliant sharp and clear shots in the right light but it struggles in flat light and is useless in low light. I've also used the Contour and while I don't rate the image quality or 'mountability' as highly as the GoPro, I really love the in built GPS which is awesome for assessing flight performace in a wingsuit etc.
