landed for fuel, over a wire, took off straight into the wire and walked away unscathed. tailboom and tailrotor in background.
lucky there was not a passenger.

here are a couple more.
the aircraft took off backwards as there was a vehicle parked in front of him.
and went in backwards. skids are in pretty good nick, keep them in the curing shed.

walked away unscathed.
Really unscathed? If so he's got to be the luckiest man alive looking at the damage to the seatback, bulkhead and the encroachment of the cabin roof into the pilot's seating area. Anyone know any more?

Practice Auto,

I don't think a lottery ticket would be a good investment.

The pilot obviously used a number of lifetimes' worth of good luck in one incident !
