thankfully it looks like the pilot walked away (assisted) what surprised me was how quickly the tail boom failed after what looked like a mainblade hitting some of the superstructure?

Pilot ended up in the back. Lucky he didn't get flung outwards. Not surprised he limped away holding his back.

Lucky chap.

holy shit the dude in the orange high vis standing on the platform was very lucky.

I've just watched it a few more times and TBH the pilot needs his arse kicked! he had no second crewman guiding him no marshaller on the ground and wasn't even aware of how close he was to the superstructures, he seemed fixated on looking out over his right side.
