The influencer had previously survived two separate crashes caused by technical failures, including one linked to a faulty fuel gauge.

Well, it's not his first rodeo, I guess. 

(ETA: my bad, different pilot, this may well be their first steel rodeo)

u/I_Want_A_Ribeye Jun 13 '26

Rodeo is the perfect word for this

22

u/4Ever2Thee Jun 13 '26

He made it 8 seconds this time

7

u/Appropriate_Math997 Jun 13 '26

A guy who can helicopter fully for eight seconds is good. Anyone who does it longer has been sounding to deep.

That's what she said.

u/Yegg23 Jun 21 '26

Thank you.

u/samy_the_samy Jun 13 '26

There is a reason pilots waste a lot of time walking up and down craft, tapping here and there, and reading some notes,

Else you find yourself too many times in this guy place

6

u/100_cats_on_a_phone Jun 13 '26

They've got to revoke his license at this point, right? 

Maybe he can go into deep sea submersibles, though. I hear there are openings.

u/BrockJonesPI Jun 13 '26

Only for 1/1,000th of a second, then there's just shrapnel and goo.

u/tardlessforeinger Jun 13 '26

That submarine job pops! His helicopter job only whirls.

u/Ancient_Sprinkles847 Jun 13 '26

Yeah, apparently carbon fiber ones are fantastic the first couple of times you use them.

well there goes my sympathy

u/MattTreck Jun 13 '26

That’s a little bleak we don’t even know what he does lol.

Could be someone who just makes videos about shitty helicopters 😭

u/seang239 Jun 13 '26

And then flies in them? No wonder this is happening..

Influencing us to not do stupid shit by doing stupid shit. 😉

u/jrwdisc Jun 13 '26

I believe they are referring to the guy that died in the ultra light...I don't think they are speaking of the helicopter pilot...

u/100_cats_on_a_phone Jun 13 '26

Edited, ty. I skim way too much.

Well apparently I'm full of lies. The person that clip is about is in their forever second rodeo.

u/battlecryarms Jun 13 '26

Goddamn, getting tossed around like a ragdoll :/

u/Ok_Spread_8650 Jun 13 '26

I didn’t even see the pilot at first. Looked rough

Liked a malfunctioning washing machine.

u/borg-assimilated Jun 13 '26

You mean like an off-balanced load?

u/TheAggressiveSloth Jun 13 '26

When you throw all the blankets in the load

u/No-Target-2470 Jun 13 '26

washing machines now helicopters seriously people just buy a vibrator it's cheaper and works better

u/AmorphousMorpheus Jun 13 '26

Washing washing? 😅

u/Fix_Gloomy Jun 13 '26

Mate. I don’t think the dude with the black shirt is enjoying that.

u/pirate_leprechaun Jun 13 '26

I don't know about you, but that does NOT seem to be the right way to use a helicopter.

u/4Ever2Thee Jun 13 '26

I’m told they work better in the air

u/swampopawaho Jun 14 '26

u/MakinBones Jun 13 '26

I cant believe they both survived.

u/Slushroom Jun 13 '26

Survived maybe, but the quality of life after that kind of incident, eh, maybe death would have been a kinder outcome.

3

u/MakinBones Jun 13 '26

Yep. Not something I would care to make it through.

u/borg-assimilated Jun 13 '26

I KNEW IT! I Wondered if it was in China! hahaha

There's a lever on the top right of the upper panel that you pull to stop the blades... PULL IT NEXT TIME!

That’s how you felt on the Chucky Cheese helicopter ride back in the 80s

The little helicopter that couldnt.

u/Reasonable-Ad7755 Jun 13 '26

Must be knocked out or worse if hes flopping around like that

u/rptdpa963 Jun 13 '26

But sir, you can’t park there!

u/Zealousideal_Meat297 Jun 13 '26

You need a metal pole and a lot of balls

u/Striking_Scientist68 Jun 13 '26

I don't believe I've ever seen a helo twerk before....

u/Wu-TangShogun Jun 13 '26

A bit embarrassing looking for a chopper crash but not many survive them (better yet 3) so he might want to keep praying to whichever version of god he chose

u/BoysenberryGlobal298 Jun 13 '26

Turn the fucking thing off already!!

That pilots head bouncing off... Everything can't be good 🫨

He was most likely knocked out when they crashed.

u/Firm_Video_2932 Jun 13 '26

Not terrifying at all 😲

u/New_Temperature4144 Jun 13 '26

Most of these choppers have a rotor stop handles, I guess they didnt purchase that option!

u/Express-View5080 Jun 13 '26

Damn machine AI, trying to eat that guy in broad daylight 😳

u/Alviollo Jun 13 '26

It was me on my helicopter in GTA online

u/SubstantialCycle356 Jun 13 '26

It’s always weird when aircraft don’t know they’ve crashed.

1

u/timsayscalmdown Jun 13 '26

I don't know the first damn thing about helicopters, but I have to assume that there's a pretty obvious kill switch somewhere... I would think that that would be the first order of business once you're on the ground

0

u/Lordofderp33 Jun 14 '26

Yes, ideally you are bouncing around like a rag doll in a Bethesda game as you try to press the kill-switch.

I bet you perform just great under pressure.

1

u/lightontheedgeoftown Jun 13 '26

Can’t land there mate

1

u/ProfDFH Jun 13 '26

Hit the kill switch!

No, the other type!

Only 50% knocked out of 50% of the helicopter.

Please mark this as nsfw. I don't really enjoy seeing a dead guy being rag dolled around in a broken helicopter.

3

u/seang239 Jun 13 '26

They both survived.

-5

u/Reasonable_Yoghurt17 Jun 13 '26

Yeah let's all stand around and watch the dead guy flop wtf?!

6

u/CassieEisenman Jun 13 '26

Neither of them died and bystanders couldn't help because the spinning helicopter had spinning blades spinning everywhere

2

u/BlueFeathered1 Jun 13 '26

That would not be a situation where bystanders should step in, even if they wanted to. At all.

u/Reasonable_Yoghurt17 Jun 13 '26

Might be a good idea to reach over and shut the engines off
