Here is the pilot's explanation, in Googlese translation:
But county road was narrow, mountainside above steep. Wherefore helicopter crew think creatively:
In the video from a freelance photographer John Øysteinsberg can see how the helicopter barely put runners lie down crash barrier on the narrow county road, before the doctor jumps out and moves towards car wreck.
- What you see in the video, is about the same we do if we for example have to land on a rock in the mountains or on the cab roof. Sometimes we have to be creative to come up with the patients, said flight operations manager Erik Normann Air Ambulance to VG.
- To land on the barrier is not exactly the first thing you learn in pilot training. But that's why we have very high standards for who gets to be pilots with us. Norway has a challenging geography, that we experience every day, says Normann.
- Watch the video that there is some movement in the helicopter. That's because it blew quite fresh that day. And photographer as movies, is under the high-voltage wire. In addition, we must think about how close the patient we can land. There are some decisions that need to be taken quite quickly in such situations, says Amdal.
