It is incredibly impoprtant that the harnesses that are used comply with aviation standards, and that procedures to use the harnessses' comply with aviation law.
apart from that , NEVER turn - to then fly - downwind following a target.
Never allow harnesses to be restrictive of each other. I.E. a camera that is hooked to the cameraman, and also hooked through an eyelet or a loop of any existing harness can kill people when the water gets deep and the extra loop cannot be undone.
I tell you son, I speak from the experience of owning a helicopter cross hired, that was so afflicted.
One more thing, there is only only one component that is used around helicopters which has killed more helicopters than prettty much every other component of helicopter structures complete.
Want to guess what it is?
One clue only, it has six letters and starts with the letter C-----.
Never say that you are still dumb after reading this.
