Years ago I saw this horrifying video. Came across it again on YouTube. Still gives me the shivers.
Keep in mind the pilot did NOT know how to fly the helicopter. He had just bought it and decided he would try it out. I believe he had his fixed wing license at the time.

As someone who worked in Air Traffic as a Flight Briefing Officer, I had pinned on my office wall a notice for all to see.
Flying in itself is not inherently dangerous...it is however..terribly unforgiving of negligence and stupidity!
A few aeromodellers I know could well take note of this!!
