Not a wrecker but something would be if it came asunder
To be hoped cameraman had a good zoom on his camera and was stood further back than he looked

It’s back wheels are all in the air!

Speed was definitely a contributing factor however I’ve been told he wasn’t turning but I’ll take that with a pinch of salt! Although it look like he would have been turning left it would have actually been a right turn as the machine has gone all the way over!
Haha
"He"
Heard that one before :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

That person should design a topper that doesn't break the shearbolt

@Phil P Are you naturally a calm man, or was blood spilt?
Personally [not proud of this] I would love to read the transcript of the question and answer session that allows the forensic analysis of how this happened, what went wrong, the awareness of the pilot of this event and who is to blame.

Can we all pitch in with questions that we would like you to ask "on behalf of the insurance company" ?

The problem is, they have a no blame policy 🤦🏻‍♂️. So as long as the operator (and I use this term very loosely!) admits responsibility for damaging something there is no punishment or investigation as long as no one is injured that is. It’s crazy but if every time something got damaged they sacked someone they’d have no staff in a week 😂.
In fact the punishments is far greater for driving to fast on the apron (where the planes are parked) or failing a drugs and alcohol test.

If he managed to do that on flat land without turning I’d really like to know what on earth he was doing!!
I've seen a twin rotor rake tipped,admittedly it wasn't very level.
Lower side came up, then the higher side as the lower side latched in. This caused the whole machine to rotate 45 degrees and end up sat on the floor with the transport wheels pointing up the hill.

Saving grace? It was the boss that was driving!

Yes well twin rotors try to lie down for fun! Folding them up on the yard can be an oh ar ah eh ym moment especially if you’re too cautious!!
