Many years ago there was a medevac from a station in the top end of W.A. using a bell 47 and a litter kit. The patient was a local native and was given a pillow for comfort and you guessed it. As the aircraft departed the native lifted his head to have a look around and the pillow went straight into the tail rotor. Last time I heard the 47 is still right where it crashed.
