Let me put a final correction on this.. I was in the back right hand side of the helicopter. We took off, went into max acceloration and banked HARD right just before the corner of the corn field. When that helicopter banks hard it is almost inverted. Just the other side of the corn was the individual in the crouching position, he went from the crouching position to the standing with his video camera in hand. I was looking him in the face when I saw the main rotor strike him 2 times. It actually hit him 3 times. There was a very loud and explosion sending dibris into the air. Without getting into detail "please don't ask" This was a terrible accident. My heart goes out to the victum, his new fiance, family, Rod and everyone. His body was mostly intact. Please don't ask for details. I think respecting Rod and the victum and family dictates that this one be left alone. Aside from the fact that I would very much like to put it behind me all together. I did alot of crying and drinking that night as did a few people I am sure. Let us all be carefull and make good decisions exercising some preventive maintenance and maybe this won't ever happen again. Be safe, Blus skies, Robert posted in INCIDENTS as well..
