Just for the record here is your first post in this thread. Nowhere
do you mention helicopters.
I said "in the article that gave rise to my comment," meaning an
article to which I provided a pointer. That article described the
experience of a helicopter pilot in marginal VFR at night.
It is high enough to kill you and too low to perform a proper
auto-rotation.
Ten feet? I've seen helicopters fall to the ground from this height
in videos and while the helicopters may not survive if they don't
remain upright, it looks as though the occupants often can walk away
from it. An engine failure would be more gentle than a simple fall.
Nope.
