To imply that any pilot worth his salt would allow a cameraman to use a
harness that isn't adjusted to keep him in the aircraft is just laughable
I'm not implying anything - I'm stating a fact.
I know of a stills guy who fell out after asking for a tight turn over a ship/oil platform/whatever, and was below hi-skid height on a 206.
I also remember a video cameraman who fell out and was dragged alongside the helicopter when it made a forced landing - there's an AAIB report somewhere.
So, tell me again that it doesn't happen.
