Look at the slope of the landing pad, the other guy is actuall lower the the elevation at which kingpin was, this is why other guy is beneath rotor blades and kingpin turned himself into a party popper.

The blades can flop up and down after landing that's why you're supposed to crouch down when approaching

I smell ball shit

Damn just the tip..

[spaceman77]

I think he was shot. You can even hear the gunshot

If you pay enough attention, you'll notice there's a head wind. The pilot had to "cycle forward" in order stay in place. That means he had to pitch the blades forward. The closer guy to the side was unaffected because he came from the side. None of this includes the fact the blades have to adjust downward at the same time, (like lowering an umbrella).
No gunshots. Just the sound of a man's scalp being sheared off.

I get most of you haven't been around helicopters, nor understand the physics behind them... But I think even the average layman would have a basic concept for how gravity works... You don't use the rotors to propel you downwards(In this situation). Gravity has a funny way of doing that job for you.

Centrifugal force prevents the blades from hanging down at the tips. Also, the blades have so much inertia at that rpm, grazing someone's skull isn't going to make them slow down.

If you want to understand what the guy did wrong, and why he was hit by the main rotor, you can find that by simply looking at the landing area. The heli landed on a hill side. The pilot has the rotor pitched forward to maintain level. The man approaches from the up hill side(front in this case). There's nothing inherently wrong with approaching a helicopter from the front under normal conditions. In these conditions though, it means your clearance is much less than idea. As the video demonstrates, it's easy to misjudge the main rotor's tips in low light conditions as well.

My advice to you; before getting on here and trying to explain something you clearly don't understand yourself, perhaps you should at least learn basic physics, then maybe go on to try and comprehend the physics behind helicopter flight. What did you accomplish by coming here and rattling off stuff you knew you didn't know anything about?

I suggest you educate yourself before looking like an arrogant dip shit ****** in front of everyone. Blade inertia means nothing when the swash plate can raise and lower the blade tips the same way you adjust an umbrella. So no, at no particular moment is it ever OK to Assume that "Inertia" is holding the blades straight out. Fucking dumbass

Around 17 seconds it looks a couple deer running by. Or am I seeing shit?
