On the other hand, it is just “uncomfortable” but the airframe doesn’t really care. Other helicopters might end up chopping their own tail booms off…😬

Difficult to get a read on how bumpy that really was since a lot of the apparent movement seems to be exaggerated by the bouncing of the hand held camera.
Not smooth or comfortable to be sure.

But a lot better than a B206 or any teetering head. I was in a BK117 in mountain waves and we were flipped to 120 degrees roll, we landed nearby and had a coffee to wait it out.
