Yes Silsoe Sid your 'large box quote' was indeed the subject of this thread.
Those are words, chilling to hear and frightening to speak.
You are right our industry has quite a share of those who don't grasp the realities of "flight safety is no accident".
Whether that is more or less than some other sectors have had over the years is debateable. It is also fair to say that to utilise the quieter methods of mustering, known as "Low stress" often places the helicopter in a bad position. I.E. pressure on, and then pressure off, this second bit often being accomplished by retreating backwards and climbing at a low airspeed.
Those that are not careful end up then hovering at say 120 feet or less while they wait to see if the cow will reciprocate the communication bit, then they set up to slowly approach /descend again for the 'pressure on' bit.
It's no maneuvre for a heavy machine and or a relaxed feeling.
Of course with care, forethought and or good mentoring, one can often do all of this without being in the dreaded areas for much if any time at all. Over trees you will usually be be at a disadvantage.
For years now lots of the current pilots have seen ex stockmen take to the skies and they strive to do the same themselves, which is to be admired.
It is sad that there are schools that can get them through their license without many of them really appreciating what a dew point or a mercator projection is. Or indeed, it may be seen at times without any real discipline of throwing that collective down once drive to the main rotor is suddenly and violently lost.
Also of course if the rumours about this accident are correct and the drive belts did fail, again, after all these years of Robinson practising to make them good, well there are plenty of big sticks around these parts which perhaps should be used with gay abandon around the heads of those who can only build faulty belts.
However your message 'Flight Safety is No Accident' should endure, in the factory the workshop and the flight school.
condolences to those concerned.
