212, it strikes the cabin after separation from the mast, incurring fatalities even at survivable heights.
I find that hard to comprehend? Given that the condition results from a low g condition that requires reasonable airspeed and height to achieve, it's hard to imagine what height above the ground is considered 'survivable' for the occupants of a freefalling Robinson fuselage that was probably doing around 100 kts at the point of seperation?
