Really? Air Days and similar we often had crewies down the winch wire acting as a Wicked Witch, or in RNAS Portland's case a water skier across the approach to Chesil Beach with a late lift to clear the causeway
Well there are plenty of humans who are not that smart.
Bungee jumping from a helicopter comes to mind.
I had a permit for Bungee jumping from my BK117 for a TV programme, with a raft of safety compliance requirements. It went so well that if I'd had a spare approved pilot I would have joined the contestants and had a bungee jump myself
Then again, I'm not that smart. I ride a motorbike, too.
