Give the Op a break for f**ks sake. He isn't (obviously) a happy passenger at the best of times, being thrust continually into the back of a cab crossing hostile territory, often in dubious weather. And then he got frightened by a dumb ass pilot.
Irrespective of whether the pilot actually flew to those extreme parameters, the pilot departed normal flight in the eyes of the pax and that is enough to set alarm bells ringing.
If I was the FSO on that rig I would want all pax to report all incidents to me so that I had a handle on how the operation was running. It may be something or nothing but give the guy cred - no smoke without fire etc.
And to those drivers out there who still think they are mightier than everyone else because they fly for a living - get real...you're just a glorified van driver with a view at the end of the day
