Yeah, it made the news here when that guy in Houston got nearly decapitated by an out of control heli; and he was an instructor!
My gut reaction while Sloane was thrashing his 550 was pretty much as if some guy had started running around the field, randomly swinging a running lawnmower about sideways. As long as it all stays at the other end of the field, I'm okay... when it gets close, that's when I gets nervous.
Yet ANOTHER reason I wasn't wanting to crowd the guy and throw off his concentration.

I'll be glad if I get to the point of doing a little inverted and a few tic-tocs...
