On this subject, not sure if it has been talked about here but, on 6th June this year (2020), an EC 145 of the French Securite Civile, based in Pau (F-ZBQF, indicatif Dragon 64) toe-in landed at "Col de la Taillandiere", in the Pyrenees, while embarquing a casualty, They had a MR blade strike
on the mountain face... Luckily, no one was hurt but the machine was very badly damaged (but repairable). Respect to all these "special pilots" risking their own lifes to helps others....
