I'm disgusted to see these accusations of HH "flying like a maniac". As others have said, this whole exercise reeks of yet another Yank out to make a quick dollar out of someone else's misfortune by way of a lawsuit. Need I point out that HH is one of the survivors of the wildest days of the venison heli-recovery of the 70's and 80's -no mean feat on its own, certainly not a period that any of the "maniacs" survived.
These quick little sound-bite throw-away lines that the media pounce on are exceedingly dangerous and harmful to the individual and the industry. What experience of heli-recovery does this individual have? To any average joe-punter, the mildest of heli-recovery manoeuvring would feel like the wildest ride on the planet. With no previous experience to draw on, these comments should be repudiated and totally disregarded.
I wonder if the victim followed instructions... or was he the architect of his own demise?
