Come on guys, lighten up! It was a spoof video! Unless the guy stood over 8' tall! The blades on an R44 are 10' above the ground. I didn't see him jump up! Maybe I missed him jumping up.

There are hundreds of videos like that on the internet. How many people laughed at Monty Pythons Knight being reduced to a mere torso in one sketch?
How many people laughed at the video of the guy in the H269 trying to fly it with no experience? It was kinda funny but showed what may happen when trying things without incorrect training?
I can't remember laughing at any of the videos on the Robinson training tape. They sickened me to my stomach and stopped me flying for a week!
Too much PC bull!!!! these days.
Some things are not funny. Real accidents involving helicopters are not laughing matters under any circumstances but when shown like the now deleted link, they hammer home a message. Some of us obviously have differing senses of humour but hey, that's just one of the things that makes us all unique!
