That might get awkward after awhile being that your hat will be front heavy, not to mention how awkward it looks too. 

I recommend getting a helmet of some kind with side rails, either a Mich 2000, 2002, Ops Core variant or Protec A-Bravo. You can then mount the camera on either side or the top.  There are plenty of other options out there along with knock off helmets so just find something that is in your price range, it fits well and performs to your expectations.

Here is my helmet for example.

Yeah -MAD- Sarge is right. The way I do it is use some industrial velcro and use it on the IFF area of the helmet "Velcro part" where -MAD- Sarge has his CT patch. Don't forget to rotate the lenses for the camera angle if you velcro it on and I recommend dummy cord it to a part of your helmet in case it gets knocked off.

I got the gun rail mount and the side rail mount for my helmet. Will be trying them this weekend at New Horizon.

If you can, the side rail mount is optimal. I have the gun rail mount attached to the left side rail mount of my helmet too, I just don't have a picture with that side showing.  You can also to mount it on top, using the velcro with a cord like Noble suggests just be prepared for it to be very awkward quickly accessing the on and off slide with anything that covers it.   Also if you get a contour mount be sure it is version 2 or higher, in the version 1 mount the camera does not fit snug and the camera rattles a bit and the sound is picked up by the mike.
