I'll give him points for enthusiasm, but I don't think pulling yourself in a wagon with your heli is the best way to be an 'ambassador to the hobby.'

Looks like an accident that didn't happen. Thank goodness, as his videographer was pretty close.

Yeah, for whatever reason the wagon looks a little bit sketchy compared to the tandem lift:

Well, that was dumb. I pictured so many different endings and none were good. He's lucky.

Kinda stupid if you ask me. An accident waiting to happen. How fast can you get out of the way sitting in that silly wagon?

Those screaming blades of death would have sliced him up in a heartbeat.
People have died from helis that were being far less stupid!

Cheap solution? What is that robot narrator lady on about? Havent priced any budget outboard motors but I'm sure you could come in well under the price of 2 T-Rexs.

To be fair creating a finishing move where you land the heli behind you is pretty stupid.
