Nice job avoiding a pretty horrible incident there....Anybody know the background? Where and when, and if that was a controlled or uncontrolled field? I'd be interested to hear the clearance given.
Regardless of who was at fault in this one, I think it's safe to say that both aircraft were definitely taxiing faster than a "brisk walk." Remembering the basics of flight school helps prevent stuff like this.
Just my $0.02...

I was in the back seat of a 206 that went down just like the Ch. 7 machine.
The crash landing was almost identical to the one in the video. No one was hurt but instead of bending, the right rear skid strut went into the bathtub which absorbed a lot of the shock.

Every day we hear about more and more flying machines in the sky.
Why oh why is there not common sense that dictates that ALL those who can, I.E. rotary wing, fly / operate someplace else other than in conflict with plank traffic lanes.
Just plumb crazy not too, deserved what he got I say, esp positioniong himself in the C172 blind spot, what a dumbo.
