having been in the military and flown in a helicopter on many occasions you're told to stay put no matter where you are until you can visually make sure that all propellers have stopped
running into or out of a crashed helicopter within the first minute or so is a great way to get decapitated.
Yeah completely understand that part, I wouldn't exactly go running head first into a propeller. My natural reaction is just to help when I see stuff like this, as I'm sure is many others.
Maybe it's just the fact he continued to film that shocks me more, I don't know. At the end of the day, this scares me

It looks like they are at a pretty high elevation. I wonder if the pilot made a serious miscalculation on how much lift he has with the air being much thinner there. Either way he was showboating.

I was airforce and our use of helicopters were mainly kept to guard units... so not familiar with them outside of personal transport.
but a pilot I used to serve with who flew A-10's said that this is what the piot was attempting (a vertical reversal) and that the move has been banned from the army since the vietnam era because it is almost always done incorrectly and results in crashes
