Doors off saves the day!

According to trip adviser, some of their tours can be ordered with doors on or off.
In this case it looks like the doors were off.

Thank the stars/god/luck

In respect to doors off tourist flights what rules are in place in respect of securing passengers and their cameras?

A standard quick release seatbelt buckle can inadvertently be snagged and opened by a camera strap.
Whilst it's rare for a camera to be dropped, smart phones are the opposite.

The bloke who shot the video says he saw the helicopter fly low straight toward him and that he had enough time to get his video camera out.

Aside from the crash does this tour normally fly low level?
