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.
Please, read what I said and you quoted: the bit that says "any pilot worth his salt". I didn't say stupidity doesn't occur, I said that a professional pilot would not let it happen
