Once again the H-500 excellent crashworthiness is proven. Some other helicopter types may not have maintaned a livable space within the cabin after such an impact.

Regarding comments on autorotation speed perhaps the pilot was extending his glide to avoid the trees and therefore used high speed!?

What is the extended range glide speed in auto on a H-500? anyone know?
