Sometimes It's Good To Be Short.....

Found this on one of the competitions forums. One lucky guy....... The following is on the NZCAA website: 27-Jul-2009 HRM Aerospatiale AS 350B2 60269 The Helicopter Line Ltd Harris Mountains "A guide was struck on top of the head by a rotor blade of a landing helicopter. The guide was struck at the very top of his head sufficient to remove a section of his hat, raise a low welt about 25mm in diameter on his skull and only just break the skin." Lucky boy indeed
