shite i think unless he's been doing it for 20 - 30 years but then again my mate was on a chopper & it cut out at 20 foot or sumthing so just dropped but no damage was done plus another mate's chopper got hit by lightning last year what was in all the news papers again no damage done

They are generally very safe but i do know a guy who has ditched twice in his offshore career. Its just one of the risks you have to take if you want to work offshore on the rigs. I personally quite enjoy the chopper flights.

Shocking vid
