Windsurf mast vs rotorblade
Wondering if anyone has a clip from the windsurfing film "spread the word" where Nik Baker jumps into the rotor of the helicopter filming him?
Filmed on the Columbia River in the 90's I think. As a kid I was interested in the damage it did to the end of the mast, now I'm nore curious what it did to the rotor and the underwear of the pilot.

I remember that movie, and now you mention it I'd be interested to see the rotor too. If I remember, the chopper climbed pretty quick sharp immediately after the impact. Don't remember any excess vibration in the film during the seconds after. Obviously wasn't a robbie, as the mast would have scratched the paint on the blades, and we all know what happens to robbie blades when the paint gets scratched!!!
