If they try that trick in one of their flash new Bell 429 it's gonna cost a lot more to fix than what a whole new unbent 206 costs.

A “certain role” required us to routinely hover by night at altitudes as high as 12,000 feet agl. It took a lot of concentration so there wasn’t really any time to think about vertigo. The only time I felt at all uncomfortable was when I vacated the cockpit for a leg stretch and to allow a very senior officer the chance to sit in my seat and see first hand what we did. I stood on the folding load pole hatch in the floor and it moved slightly. I looked down and through the small gap between the hatch and the aircraft floor I saw the street lights over two miles below me. I took a quick step backwards!
