My sympathies lie with the pilot who will feel responsible for this act of idiocy.
You can tell a millennial but you can't tell them much.
We did the Banff helo tour and engine and rotors were rotating on entry and egress from craft, we were clearly instructed NOT to leave the marked path on the way to the helo.
This thread is getting somewhat repetitive, but as commented in previous posts -
There are conflicting accounts of this accident - it is not definitive that he “broke ranks and ran into the rotor” or that he was taking a selfie.
He was 22 and by definition not a millennial (widely accepted as born between ‘81 and ‘96). If you need to categorise him, he was “Generation Z” (widely accepted as born ~ ‘95 - ‘10)
You did a tour in Banff, and were “clearly instructed not to leave the marked path”. The person who died in this incident was in a different country with a different operator - you do not KNOW exactly what brief he received.
