I'm convinced all the French do is go to Chad and make low flying videos!

I think some of the footage is speeded up, even at low level it doesn't look that fast in a helicopter!

[Garry Russell]

Yep. Skippy I agree .......that's what I mean by undercranked....speeded up vid

My concern is these things get posted so the next idiot tries to out do them.

To be fair if my pilot tried to outdo that I'd hurt him!

Well one day they is going to be one almighty incident

Then everyone will say that has to be stopped..well why not stop it now

The chances are those hurt will have nothing to do with it.

Anyone who is prepared to take such chances just to show off is made of the WRONG stuff and should be booted out

I don't know the French low flying regulations but I'd imagine that they're already breaking them. Having said that it may be they've edited the video selectively and all you're seeing is an advanced transition where you stay in ground effect until you've got sufficient speed to climb away when you're power limited.
