Er, about 80 years! Things have moved on slightly since Igor had a crack at it...
Nope. You're probably thinking of a video of the Bell test program where the chap (also, confusingly, wearing a fedora!) is thrown into the rotordisc...
Anyway, if you were to develop a helicopter in Vietnam, surely there are still plenty of old Bell components lying around in the jungle that one could re-use...

Come on chaps, did you never built your own go-kart out of pram wheels, wooden boxes from behind the local supermarket, a coach bolt, some nails and some rope??

However I'll see your 295 and raise you 636.

Igor's wrecks
I have seen at least one movie of Igor wrecking his prototype. Can't find it on youtube though.

VeeAny,
In the words of Dick Emery...
"ooh… you are awful… but I like you!"
B73,
Is there a difference?
Given these blokes, their love of helicopters (when they aren't shooting at them!) and their circumstances, I say it's just another example of human inginuety....go for it!

B73,
Are we talking about people crashing R22s or are we talking about elementary helicopter design, eh?
