It wasn't long ago that ppruners were discussing the terrible events in Germany when a pilot had done the same thing, except he misjudged the clearance and killed himself, the crew and the casualty that they were supposed to be taking care of.
In this intance the bridge looks a little higher, but the difference between a hero and a dead idiot can be a couple of feet.
As with all stunts, its all fun and games until someone loses an eye! Would it have been BARNSTORMING SPIRIT if it had gone horribly wrong?
(According to the reports, the bridge is 100 feet over the water. Heliport.)
