Parking helicopters on the edge of high cliffs - what if they fall off?
Motorbikes - very dangerous machines, they kill 10,000s every year?
Puppies - they come with their own set of problems and could even smother you?

Some of the food looked as though it might even have been pulled straight from the ground instead of being wrapped and hermetically sealed in polythene wrap like the big supermarkets do - how could you possibly know it wasn't past its best before date? You damned risk taker! How dare you entice others to follow your crazy, foolhardy ways?

VF, please would you confine yourself to showing only safe pictures, maybe sub 1,000' altitude with decent pressure altitude to give decent safety margins, nothing less than full VMC, no dangerous mountains, no ghastly motorbikes, no puppies and no birds - they could cause rotor strikes!

All food should be consumed before the stamped use-by date and packaging should be carefully checked for damage before unwrapping. Any burnt bits should be discarded and put in your plastic recycling bin as required by the council.

Oh, and when you park your chopper, please put the tail over the ground, NOT hanging out over the cliff - what if it needs maintenance, you'd never be able to reach it - you hadn't thought of THAT, had you? Just sayin!
....... and, "don't try this at home" ......... "other people with helicopters teetering off high mountain peaks are available"
