Travis Pastrana's chopper jump tests sanity's limits | The Australian (http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,26271804-5013406,00.html)


Comments? I'm not too sure I would volunteer to fly for this one.

Didn't Jean-Pierre Goy (sorry, Pierce Brosnan) already do this with a BMW R1200C in Tomorrow Never Dies...? :E

I/C

I guess Nick has been working on some really stealth projects at Bell....

After all, leaping onto a dirt bike and performing a backflip over a hovering 40-metre helicopter could be pushing the boundaries of sanity to new limits.

:p

Not hard to spot the aussies at the end there

Specifications (Mi-26)

Length: 40.025 m (131 ft 4 in) (rotors turning)Now, THAT would be a proper "40-metre helicopter" allthough not a Bell...

Probably better off against "birdstrike's" as well..
