This one is from memory but the details should be on the accident database. In Oz we had a situation that developed a lot further than the EC135. Two young individuals under the affluence of incohol manged to get into a Jetranger in a fenced security compound. Somehow they managed to get it lit off without an engine meltdown and got it light on the skids. At this stage one of them chickened out and got out. Unfortunately his mate didn't have the disc under control and as he left the cabin,managed to tilt the disc onto him. If I recall the machine then rolled on it's side.
Very nasty but then the security on a Jetranger is really good....isn't it. The only problem with all these computer games is that they really don't simulate how easy it is to die from doing something so stupid.
