Hi
I'm an industrial design student at the University of Illinois. I am working on a project about coal miners. I am looking to redesign a coal mining helmet to make it better for the user. I'm looking for a coal miner who wears a helmet on a daily basis who wouldn't mind answering a few questions.

What do you like about your helmet?
What would you change about your helmet?
Do you use any accessories with your helmet?
When do you need to wear a helmet?
Where do you store your helmet?
How many hours a day do you wear your helmet?
What is your daily routine at work like?


It would be great if any number of these questions were answered and feel free to give us any other information think would be helpful. If you would like to help me further you can email me at idunno7590@yahoo.com. Even the smallest bit of help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
