OH MY! The only thing he could have done is dumped it on the deck, and hoped it didn't roll off, or try and unload hot...Even if he was hard on the stick, and yanked that fencing off, he would have hit the tower...VERY scary, from someone who has spent alot of time with helicopters.

 

Hope every 1 is ok. Don't know much about helicopters but that's got to be bad on the resume!

 

It was caused by a vortex ring state, Which was induced by flying out of effective translational lift with a tail wind. The reason it fell off of the deck was because it looked like the chopper hooked the fence which led to dynamic rollover Special thanks to Summamabitz on the explanation [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

Yes, Everyone knows the combobulating transducer was a factor but only the super smart ones knew the flux capacitor was a failing factor [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

yah, that flux capacitor didn't kick into overdrive and send them to the future like it did Micheal J. Fox..hopefully they got out ok

 

The rear wheel got caught in the fencing, and because it couldnt lift, and the other side could, over he went. Very crappy. See the dude riding shotgun try and bail out?

 

wow that's really scary

 

Anyone see the video of the guy who buys his own helicopter and tries to fly it without any flying lessons. He lasts about 20 seconds.
