Damn! I wanted to duck just watching that!

Crickey, I wouldn't have wanted to be the cameraman.

Could you imagine a servo failure or radio lockout? haha
People are so silly

Thats the only way dumb people learn safety.

That is one of the worst movies I have seen :shock:

VERY dangerous. Put the camera on a tripod if you want do do that. And NO people around...

[srhadden]

Brainless morons. It's like people driving recklessly on the road or riding someone's tail. Some boneheads are so out of touch with reality they don't think anything bad can happen until it does.

The image could be misleading though, using a zoom...

But still, I would not recommend doing such things.

Kraaijer is right, it's not a genuine video, there's a lot of zoom on there and the hand/arm has been added afterwards. If you look at the light source the T-Rex is lit by the sun from camera right and the hand is lit from the top of the frame, the skin between the fingers is the lightest point.

Also one would assume that if the camera man was waving his left arm about the camera would have to be on auto focus, this would mean that as the hand came in the camera would lose focus on the T-Rex and go onto the hand, as you can see the hand & heli stay sharp all the way.

Its given me some ideas though, I'll have to get out some of my flying vids and set about them with Sony Vegas 7. So watch this space for spectacular danger!

The CSI explanation gave me a chuckle. :lolol

Real or not it's stupidity at it's finest. Those who may not know any better might try to replicate the stunt and really injure themselves.
