    Some Helicopter History for y'all ...  w/ some crazy accident footage!

    This is a very popular video and parts of the video ya might even remember from other sources

    Interesting, even as early has it was they we're using Training GEAR  [​IMG]
    And they used them on large scale helicopters which for me was not only interesting but also surprising

    Although they DID forgot about the importance of the seat-belt ...
    hehe, first time I saw the clip I thought for sure the pilot was toast, HOLY Toast ...
    ... He was actually caught up in the blades then tossed off to the side!
