Indeed. There also used to be a check item demanding passengers were actually wearing their seatbelts. it appears, from the rear passenger footage, that the front seat passenger couldn't be arsed and the so-called commander couldn't, er!, command so much as a reminder, either. Do the laws of common-sense or physics not apply in Texas?
Meanwhile...no checklist, no mag test, no after take-off checks, no 'power available' check in the hover..., no sense, no feeling, they say, Very glad all walked away, but that was sheer luck, not airmanship.
Note also the insufficient lowering of the collective, no reaction to the accompanying low RRPM horn (resulting in the classic 'tail chop), no flare, no levelling immediately prior to touch-down,...only the left turn looks good. Like I say...glad all got to walk home.
Can't help thinking Mr Hog will have the last laugh once the insurance assessor also chooses to walk away. And, guns and helicopters together?...as someone else far more qualified than me already pointed out;... such things are best left to the professionals. Lots of lessons to be learned from this one, methinks
