Shait!

Answer my simple question, are safety measures do they have ? You are suppose to wait inside and die as it hits the ground ?

 

[upepo]

Hiyo kiatu ni standard issue kweli? Alafu hizo vitu zinakaa packaging za weave zilikuwa zinafanya nini ndani ya ndege? Let's keep the discussion irrelevant please.

YES, the only chopper I know with an ejector seat safety measure is the Russian KA 50. @JazzMan can shed more light on this.

Utaruka aje na rotors juu yako? Unataka beheading?

 

[Kasaman]

Utaruka aje na rotors juu yako? Unataka beheading?

Meaning no safety measures at all ?

Little chance of survival

The chopper is among six US-made light attack helicopter gunships that the Kenya Army Aviation acquired in January this year.

There is a very big difference between kenya police force and Kenya Defence Forces. The one that crash landed the other day was a police chopper, this is KDF, specifically Kenya Army.

At one time or another, a chopper may experience mechanical failure and come down hard. This doesn't mean KDF is incompetent.

This is the only MD500 crash in recent history for machines that date back to the late 70's-early 80's. For them to have survived this long is testament to the maintenance they have been undergoing since then.
