Ground resonance, another reason not to fly in a helicopter. The pilot should have recognised it and immediately taken off again, it is the only way to avoid tears before bed in such a situation.......The reason why in the RAF the sooties are not allowed to carry out chopper engine runs. Thank the lord above I worked on proper aircraft..... Grin

Helicopters really aren't that dangerous and I wish people wouldn't keep spreading that rumor. Helicopters are as safe as their pilots and mechanics make them. They can be quite safe when properly operated. Even the fact that you can do an autorotation in the event of an engine failure and land safely in a somewhat small area is a good thought. In an airplane, you have to hope that there is somewhere flat to land.

It's the pilot's fault that this happened. He should have just lifted off again. Like I said, they're safe if operated correctly.
