Wow, lucky guy.....
As a Utility pilot, I spend most days with head down looking through the vert ref window in a B2/FX on a 100ft line. I can see how this happened.....
As for the helmet, never even do a ground run without it myself. Saved my life many moons ago in the Artic.Shoulder harness a pain when longlining, but I live with it. Just trying to even the odds......
But hey, just got home today after a 4 week tour, all longline, man I got a bad back.....
Oh yeah, had an engine failure in a B2 early this last summer. Put it down and we all walked, nobody hurt. But ya should see my seat......don't even get me started on that...
