Surely someone can come up with a more entertaining way to burn fuel?

Do yourself a favour and fast forward to 4 min.

They terminated the operation after it had commenced because they suddenly realised it could be dangerous?
But not during the planning stage.....
Having an unsecured person suspended on a lightweight slung load, over the sea, very poor fly away option, close to spectators......what could possibly go wrong?

I have to say it didnt look at all dangerous to me ......just boring !!
Unsecured over water at that height is probably much safer than secured surely ? There are plenty of winch operations going on with much more potential danger than this one in my view . They guy is going to fall say 20ft into water ...big deal . The helicopter autos into the sea with lifeguards around , again , shouldnt be life threatening .
But why do it when it was spectacularly ...unspectacular !!!!

Dangerous, hadn't realised those across the pond had come so risk adverse. The greatest risk is getting a clip from mrs Hughes checking out why I am watching totty on a beach !

Photoshop trickery! Is that not a 412 on the screen grab? And then there is no sign of a 412...just an Astar.

Absolute toss***.

Although I suppose it's something to do once one has become bored with the water toys aboard ones Palmer Johnson.
