Parking into the prevailing wind is also a given, why anyone would not do so is beyond me: a problem of their own making! If the wind shifts before landing, get the trolley moved before you land on it
But there's not always someone back at base to do stuff like that. Some of us operate with no ground back up whatsoever.
A bit of skin damage caused by a skid lifter can be repaired; a bent heli lying on its side with all the blades gone is a different prospect altogether.
I'm glad to have wheels on the heli I now fly. Worst I'm likely to do is ding it into the boss's jet when putting it away in the hangar with the tow truck.
