Helicopter Trampoline
Surely someone can come up with a more entertaining way to burn fuel?

They terminated the operation after it had commenced because they suddenly realised it could be dangerous?
But not during the planning stage.....
Having an unsecured person suspended on a lightweight slung load, over the sea, very poor fly away option, close to spectators......what could possibly go wrong?

I have to say it didnt look at all dangerous to me ......just boring !!
Unsecured over water at that height is probably much safer than secured surely ? There are plenty of winch operations going on with much more potential danger than this one in my view . They guy is going to fall say 20ft into water ...big deal . The helicopter autos into the sea with lifeguards around , again , shouldnt be life threatening .
But why do it when it was spectacularly ...unspectacular !!!!
