Ive only just got into Heli flying myself but know Vividly what they can do. a couple of years ago my father and law was out flying. he came in to complete a routine landing on a still day and knife edged the bird into the ground about 5 meters from himself. a small piece of main blade went into his chest and missed his aorta by 3mm. very lucky man. considering he was in his early 70's when it happened. hes now to afraid to fly heli and only flies plane. very sad.

TOO CLOSE. I guess thats why none of us should fly alone. You never know when something like that could happen.
