Kenny Keller and Danny Martin warn that helicopter rotors keep spinning after passengers get out, especially on uneven ground where blade height shifts unpredictably. Stay clear of rear rotors, which are hard to see.
So here's a safety tip from our day at Carnegie. Towing ribs and rides. Danny Martin just pointed out something here, pretty important.
Yeah, it's ribs and rides. 2011, first one. Hopefully we'll do a couple more. Of course, we'll be out here all summer. But we're not at the airport, we're not on the pad. It's not level, bumpy terrain, things like that. Of course, we're here on the right side of the aircraft. Usually you got clearance from your head here. These rotors do spin as we see here. Go ahead and spin them around. If you're walking around the aircraft when you just got out, rotor's still going. You can come over here to this spot and you can get clunked right in the head. This rotor on flat, level ground is normally going to be right about here. But you're in the bumpy terrain. You always got to be aware where the rotors are at right here. If this comes at you, it'll knock you out, it'll knock you down, it can kill you. So you want to stay away from any spinning rotors, especially the ones in the back, because you can't even see those moving. That's your safety tip from 2011. Ribs and rides.
Very nice.
