Helicopter Nearly Flies Into People

An Inch To Spare

If given a chance, would you get this close to a hovering helicopter moving forward ever so slowly? I guess we all know what this group’s answer to that question is.

This group of 21 people was more than willing to take a picture with a helicopter moving on top of them. The only problem was that the aircraft was a tad bit closer to them than they initially thought. 

It got so close that the one on the left had to duck to avoid the landing gear! That could have ended way differently than they imagined it would. 

Luckily, everything was fine, and they all just laughed it off. Still a weird gamble, regardless.
