Unbeilevable flying, for the safety aspect you must note it was done in thailand my sister and friend went there for a while if someone murdered outside there left in the street for days and not moved the grapahical pics are shown in the papers they just dont care lol.

So if the heli would of hit someone another great story with graphic pics im sure for them.

Oh well wish i could fly like that

It shouldn't make a difference where it is, it doesn't become unstupid and undangerous just because the countries attitude in general is like that, especially in the case of a respected pilot that flys all over the world.

But it does matter where it is. The attitude to this sort of thing is much more relaxed in Thailand, and it is why I personally love the country. However dangerous you think this flying is, you should see their roads, with mopeds laiden with up to 5 or 6 people, including babies stood on the seats, or mopeds loaded with around a ton of produce (no exaggeration).

The club where I fly out there is completely bonkers, with planes regularly diving at the pits area and crashing all around us, there are cattle grazing in the flight area that have to be avoided. I love it. It is just different out there, people haven't been brainwashed by years and years of nanny state hysteria. Yes accidents will happen, but they do anyway, and you have to find a balance between living a fun free boring life and carrying the risk of injury or death. My view is that we are way too much towards the former and Thailand has it right. Most people probably think differently.
