TET is talking about a couple of sad events quite a few years ago now....
Heli-Muster Pilot 'Tevie B' was killed when he walked backwards into the rotor disk while dragging a roll of fencing wire near a place called Bark Hut ....
The other Heli-Muster pilot that survived, 'Dave N', climbed onto the back of a ute just after shutting down whilst loading a killer (butchered cow)... fortunately or unfortunately as it may be viewed, was that the rear of the ute was relatively close inboard under the disk so the knock was less severe... he still needed 40 plus screws and a SSteel plate... never was the same after that.
These are the only ones I can remember that involved 47's, I know of another that involved a 206 near Darwin... pax jumped from hovering machine, wrong place, wrong time. Pilot corrected and the passenger was killed.
All very sad occurances and hammers home the dangers of helicopter rotors... What can I say, these lessons have been learnt before
