They're not joking when they say a Helicopter is trying to kill you as soon as you start the engine.

I'll never fly a helicopter but this seems like an important thing to be aware of

As a UH-1 helicopter pilot, I can confirm the proper way to avoid mast bumping is to always be playing Fortunate Son at high volume

As a kid I witnessed a helicopter accident were the entire rotor came off the helicopter. <br> I remember very clearly the helicopter pulled up sharply then leveled quickly At the time the rotor separated from the aircraft and the chopper fell to the ground rolling up side down just before impact.<br> I rode my bike to the crash site but there were clearly no survivors. That is one thing I wish I could unsee.<br> Now, finally after 40 years I know what happened. It wasn't an Army chopper. Just a civilian.

This ancient video is actually more useful and well made than what they are currently teaching in flight schools. This is truly life saving stuff. I can never thank you enough for posting it.
