A similar incident

A similar incident happened to a friend of mine during the testing of (I believe) the CH-53 in which he was the pilot. He and the crew abandoned the aircraft and after he was descending on his chute the helicopter rolled into him and he was caught in the rotor system. His name was “Obie” Blanchard.
