Accident & incident history

2007-06-06 Accident · Troy, OR Serious injury NTSB · SEA07LA147
Reported aircraft: Hughes 369D
Probable cause: The inadvertent entanglement of the crewmemeber's helmet's communication cord with the structure of the helicopter during the helicopter's ascent, which resulted in the crewmember being elevated above ground level before the helmet's cord separated, resulting in the crewmember falling into an apple tree. A factor was the pilot's diminished visual lookout.
