But why wouldn't he have kept some negative collective to keep it nailed to
the deck?.... how far would the tips 'dished' down?.....not enough to cause
the crew more worries than they already had??

It seemed very light on the skids on the previous couple of swells??


Wow! He was lucky to get it back down on the deck
in one piece with no tail rotor. It could have
just as easily easily gone over the side.

That video is a good lesson on why hot shots get
in trouble sometimes.
