Yeah the vid is a poor example, but quite shocking.
As far as aircraft go, I'd much rather be in any helicopter than a plane in the case of ANY crash. I don't need to start going into thousands of lines of prose in order to explain the context which should be fairly obvious considering the rest of the post or the topic at hand. Nor does it pertain to the argument in the first place.

Though in all honesty the physics in helicopters is so screwed up in PR atm (vBF2 had a better simulation!), and the lack of any aircraft coders atm means that no matter how plausible, functional or realistic any suggestion has been, there's little to no chance of implementation.

Hence my retirement from PR's airforce.
