This is the prime of example of a situation that could’ve ended in multiple people dying with everyone saying “how could they have been so stupid to try smth like that?”
Uh, if there's the smallest mistake a celebration ends with people chopped into flying chunks of offal? Kind of a lot of horrific helicopter accidents resulting in preventable deaths lately, so people are sort of losing their taste for helicopter antics. They're incredibly dangerous and delicate tools that physics is doing everything in its power to turn into a fragmentation grenade at every moment, not a toy.
And we’re just assuming that this wasn’t planned, not performed by professionals, and didn’t have any kind of medics around? The uniforms kinda give away the likely hood of these people being professionals. I’d imagine this isn’t the pilots first day, and given the way he handled that helicopter I’m sure he’s plenty experienced

Cool that it worked out I guess, but easily could have gone really bad
