Re: Hit in the Head by Helicopter
I own a few helicopters and fly sometimes but basically you must must duck...the general rule is when you slouch your shoulders - Mark the shoulder level with hand and drop head to that level again to avoid decapitation. He must not have been trained In “copter etiquette”.

Re: Hit in the Head by Helicopter
After working on aircraft, including helicopters for over 20 yrs... When the blades begin to decelerate; they do tip at the end. That being said, the pilot also was landing and moving forward which will also tip the blades... not to mention most helicopter blades have a teardrop design, the forward edge has is sharp looking and the aft of the blade is rounded. Some have a metal outer edge to protect it from debris that is churned up. IMO The idiot didn't crouch down at all while approaching the aircraft thus... Natural selection in action... |
