Another SA stunt??
Hi all,
just finished some flying work for another "Survivor"-Game-show.
One of the producers told me that he is flying regularly in South Africa with a certain company (...don't recall the name)
Supposedly, a couple of years ago the same company was approached by some producers, doing a "Fearfactor"-kind of show.
The idea was to have someone do a tightrope act between 2 helicopters!!
This company declined, but it seems they found another one who tried - and died!
Supposedly, they tied the cable to the skids!! No quick-release or cargo hook! Seems the 2 cracks got in the air, but one started to pull the other - pulling back - Amen!
I wonder if there is some truth to that story or is it just a fantasy-script!
If it is true, I wonder who sucked the brains out of two d***heads at the same time??
You always find a sucker for fame, but 2 nutcases + a company to give them helos to crash??
Anyone has some idea?
A "couple" of years back - South Africa

It Did happen in Capetown and if you search this forum you will find the photos....Two Jet Rangers in pieces...........I think it was posted in the African Aviation fourm and the pilots suffered a lot of noise from others. They are still flying there as I understand.
