Claim:
1. An image capturing system comprising: at least one optical sensor adapted to receive optical images and convert the optical images to electrical signals corresponding to the optical images; an output device adapted to receive the electrical signals from the at least one optical sensor and transmit a signal corresponding to the optical images to a receiver; a housing adapted to retain the least one optical sensor and the output device, the housing comprising an energy absorbing material and the housing is adapted to mount to a surface wherein upon loading above a specific threshold the housing detaches from the surface; and a flexible substrate mounted in the housing and to which the at least one optical sensor and the output device are mounted, wherein the flexible substrate is adapted to conform to a contour of the surface; wherein the housing comprises a circular housing having a circular footprint at least partially in contact with the surface; and wherein a size of the circular footprint is selected to distribute a force on the circular housing through the circular footprint to attenuate a force transmitted to the surface through the circular housing.
