How to make a cheap helmet camera?

Question

I want to record my sick paintballing skills but i dont think having somone tape you is any good. I was hoping for a real FPS experience. But i'm not creative. So does anyone have a CHEAP suggestion as to mounting a small hard-drive camcorder in a safe housing for paintballs ranging from 280 fps or higher? BEST and CHEAPEST answer wins! Good Luck.
