Is this common practice to leave an helicopter when operating at remote location? Is the only motivation there to save start/shutdown cycle for the airframe?
This is not a getting-out-while-running accident. It's a pilot-is-a-dumbass accident.
What pilot with even half a brain gets out with the throttle up at full and the controls unsecured?? A very stupid pilot, that's who. I'd this nitwit had applied some common sense tasks, this "accident" never would've happened. Don't paint getting out while running as being
dangerous! because of the actions of a few idiots.
