I guess everyone assesses risks a little differently. The guy probably ran into machine gun fire fifteen years earlier at Omaha Beach or maybe he was in the South Pacific. Now-a-days we are a little more risk adverse it seems.

"Severe injuries" noted, but no fatalities.

De Lackner DH-4 "Heli-Vector" / HZ-1 "Aerocycle" helicopter - development history, photos, technical data

As a military item, as others have suggested, the best use would be to sell these to the opposing forces. Easy to hear, easy to spot, easy to kill.

This picture cracks me up. I'd love to know what the back story is here. It looks like wife just won a bet, or something, and got to take hubby's hot rod convertible Fairlane with the baby moon hubcaps out shopping with her best friend. They seem pretty excited about something they think is fun.
