YOP;
I've got pics like that but I'd never wear that gear outside the forces.

The picture that you have linked to is of this incident;

Air Accidents Investigation: Rotorway Executive, G-BRGX
"
The aircraft bounced once gently and skidded forward before coming to rest with the right (passenger side) skid collapsed and the tailboom separated but the helicopter remained upright.
The passenger evacuated through a hole in the front canopy without injury, whilst the pilot exited through the left door with a slight burn to his left arm."
Sooo, they exited the upright ac, which was left to burn!
Not as dramatic as you portray
