The bits I didn't like about the conduct of the ride:

Flight was too low. Only just level with the flags on top of the fairground, and below the level of one of the many towers he flew past.
Flight was too low.
Flight was STILL too low.
On arrival, pilot lets go the collective and is leaning out his door, while kid is unstrapping and leaving the front seat. And don't try to justify it by saying "the collective lock is on" because we all know that the Robinson collective lock is a lock in name only. Potential for a serious accident, it has happened too many times before.
Pax were out their doors and moving around well before the "handlers" came with the next load.

Just didn't like it. I have run many hundreds of scenic rides, but with far greater safety than these people.
