Pictured here is Sir John Young "Jackie" Stewart, the former Formula One racing driver. As you can see here, the man dubbed "Flying Scot", is wearing an early version of a helmet camera to capture onboard footage.

He competed in Formula One, winning three World Drivers' Championships. Twice he finished as runner-up over those nine seasons and in 1966, he narrowly missed out on a win at the Indianapolis 500. He competed in the Can-Am series and was instrumental in improving the safety of motor racing, campaigning for track upgrades and medical facilities.

One of the all time greats. And even if he wasn't a spectacularly talented driver (which he most certainly was), his work with Dr. Postlethwaite transformed the safety aspects of auto racing in general and Formula One in particular.
