flyer43,
Just because you either wouldn't or couldn't land there does not make it unsafe. The Pilot on the day makes that decsion. He is there, knows what he is doing and has done it very well.
The vehicle is obviously purpose built for this operation. If the Pilot thought is wasn't safe, he wouldn't do it, if he thought it was beyond his capabilities, he wouldn't do it (if he went ahead anyway, his risk assessment would have been flawed and it would be a much different picture). People should not be slagged off at based on a photo.
I still stand by my opinion that it looks safe enough to me....................
