Gold bars = added protection

WoW...impressive; not!

Be it the Crocs adds extra safety; not!

Kilos of Gold bars make this PIC bullet proof; not! (but I'm sure he thinks it does)

Synthetic vis but not at LSA.....dumber than Dog shiit

Mountain flying is eXtreme to say the least, but this is just plain stoopid

Stay Safe & Stay Happy

What's the problem? He had visual reference with the floor of the helicopter all of the time.

They were nomex gloves. His fingerprints should be recognisable to aid identification. DNA is often really badly damaged in post impact fires..........

Words fail me. I wonder if he thinks that when the fancy screen says 'game over' you can put another 25c in and try again

Yikes! Took me all of 4 seconds to reach TAS (tightened arse syndrome). No slowing due the reduced vis. Must have had a tee time to make. Or tea time. Agree with McDoo, candidate for Darwin Award.
