Ground effect from trees?? Whaaat???? And even if it did occur what do you suppose would happen as you slithered off the "ground cushion" with the crown of the next tree thirty yards ahead - and open air in between?
Trees cushion the fall?? You call surviving a nasty crash and then tumbling 80 feet with the all the wreckage plus getting kebabed by logs, branches and splintered bits of tree crashing down on top of you "cushioned" do you? Pin-cushioned more like.
Sheesh! Whatever you've been smoking has severely damaged your imagination and a lack of imagination can be hazardous around helicopters pal, as all this clearly demonstrates.
