I noted that a bouncy castle once became airborne and the AAIB were all over the place
Well, they were far too old to have been on it in the first place....
WRT to the "Manchester Helicopter Incident" - really?!?!?
If I was a cynical sod (okay, I am!), I'd say that it was more to do with suing the manufacturer of said toy and gleaning some money than the actual "injury" caused....did the helicopter also narrowly avoid the local school?
think of the untold injury and suffering that could have happened there had the "pilot" not narrowly managed to heroically steer the craft away from disaster...oh wait, he couldn't because the massively regulated, highly expensive helicopter in question (all £29.99 of it) totally failed in it's design brief.
Lets hope the AAIB are able to fully investigate, and pull the maintenance and tech. log for this obviously poorly maintained aircraft.
