Hi,

[B]" He stated that all five occupants jumped from the helicopter before the helicopter crashed into the lake. The helicopter sustained a technical failure. "
For which one failure you have (and the time to ) to jump before the helicopter crash ?
The Captain jump too ?

I can think of no reason to ever jump from a helicopter over water , other than possibly dropping pax and dinghy off just prior to controlled ditching .....
Safest place to be would be strapped in in a fast descent I would have thought !!

Sad and unfortunate that the search for survivors was hampered by the extreme smoke haze caused by Oil Palm concession burning... Musim Mas the owner of the helicopter has blood on their hands
