Helicopter chasing a Vette lets it get away from him.

I was kinda hoping this would be a North Korean Top Gear...

Helis are tricky bastards and you gotta watch those hard turns at low altitude...I thought the first one he did near the beginning looked pretty sketchy.

Saw this on another forum.

It gets pretty eerie when the host sees what happens. He went from 100% fun to complete silence in a nanosecond.

One hell of an expensive segment.

Holy crap, that's one lucky MoFo. What are the odds of surviving a helicopter crash?

The odds? Damn poor. Very good friend of mine is a helicopter pilot instructor, in his 70's. Over 10,000 hours flight time. Had his first crash two months ago in Rawlins WY on his way from Oregon to Ft. Lauderdale. Strong gust (75mph) hit as he was trying to land, flipped the chopper, came down hard. Chopper is toast. He had 3 broken ribs and a lot of bruises. That was from 50'. He knows how lucky he was. Big thing was no fire..
