...and on the other hand if I were being pursued by a gyrocopter I would flee, too, heading for some solid cover like a tree. If there is no cover before it has accelerated to my best running speed I would lie down on the ground. But this was not a normal situation and people who are upset do not always think things through.
In any case this is an extremely rare occurrance and probably we will not see another case like this as long as we live. What is much more likely is to see an incident caused by a pilot more interested in observing the ground that flying his/her A/C.
