R22: loss of control if pax strikes yoke?
Hearing rumors that many fatal zero-g accidents in R22's might result from non-flying occupant zooming hand diagonally up from lap to point at something and accidentally forcibly striking yoke, knocking it out of pilot's hand.
So, another poll: has anybody survived discovering what happens if the pilot's hand suddenly leaves the yoke? How wild do the gyrations get before he recovers his grasp and stabilizes?
(We assume the trimming bungee is too weak or too strong by a few pounds, that being more or less the norm.)
