lets have a sit down, shall we??

so recently, i observed a collegue sitting on top of the rotorhead of an AS350. i thought that it was an odd, even an uncomfortable spot to sit...
personal opinions aside; from an engineering point of view, would this be harmful to the mast bearing/rotor system? i might be just a pilot but i thought that the design was meant more to suspend weight rather than support (extra) weight.
any thoughts? i'd like to know as eventually i will have to fly that aircraft.
TIA
