Just wondering if anyone has seen the email going around of a father exiting an R44 and raising his arms above his head? Im sure you can guess what happens next.

Just curious if anyone knows where it took place.

I have it on file and can email it if anyone wants it for training purposes of what NOT to do when moving around helos

Cheers

Yeah I've seen it. If it's fair dinkum it's not real pretty. Don't really see any benefit in it as a training tool. If thats what has to be resorted to to drive home the point then alas I fear the game is already lost. http://www.alldumb.com/item/17839/

Question. How can the girl and her mum get out of the chopper without getting one hair out of place?

It doesn't appear genuine to me....perhaps I'm just being cynical but I wouldn't have thought that blood would move perpndicular to the rotation of the blades and strike the camera lens.

There are a lot of short movies floating around the internet such as this. There was a story about them on the news as a lot of directors make them in the hope that their "talent" gets recognised and they get some more work.

It's fake. Do a search on the net and watch the whole clip.

Of course it is a fake, the bloke would have to have arms two metres long to chop his hands off on a R44, funny as though and you have to give the thumbs up to the guys that made it.:)

I hadn't looked at this until someone emailed it to me last night. When I opened it I was shocked and thought 'what the'? But yes it's very cleverly done - someone put a lot of work into it.
