That's interesting I was not aware of that.
Heliski22 I do not claim to be perfect and I agree that its very convenient to play armchair quarterback when you can sit back and analyze the situation, however in Canada it is illegal to operate and aircraft in that manner. I made the mistake of assuming that regulation was followed elsewhere in the same manner, which I think it should be as even if the passengers have life preservers on they made become disoriented if the aircraft flips over (as helicopters tend to do when they strike the water being so top heavy) and have difficulty egressing from the aircraft.
In addition What is the point of reviewing these video's if not to comment on what caused it and make an effort to learn from someone else mistakes?
