I still think we shouldn't be chasing after other pilots, ***** had 14,000 hrs. for what I've heard, and no one flies 14,000 hrs. in helicopters and stays alive by being stupid and reckless all the time. Bitching him anonymously is very low from my point of view.
You can do things you wouldn't belive in helicopters if you have the skill and the knowledge. The pictures seem a litte extreme "for myself" but I really don't see anything wrong if somebody else wants to do it, I have about 250 hrs. in the B412 and it is a great helicopter in which to do this if you decide to.
Last year I flew in Africa in US registered helicopters (MD500's), doing part 91 work carrying passengers belonging to the UN, and trust me the flying was more agressive than this, it required doing it lower and faster. The program been going on for 20 years w/only 1 fatality, (lost the rotor head).
76 is right flying 6 feet of the ground is the industry standard in many places, and if done carefully is not a problem.
