I take it you guys are not helicopter pilots. I didn't see anything all
that scary in the video although some of it would have been far too
dangerous in most any airplane for my tastes.

Cheers,

Most of it didn't look all that bad, as I understand it, you can autorotate
if you have speed even if you don't have altitude. But how would you
autorotate if you are hoovering with your nose 50 feet away from a cliff?
Pull the cyclic back and do it in reverse?
You are right - at least I'm not a helicopter pilot - so I don't have a clue
if it is easy or impossible..
