  1. I have done a few shoots from helicopters. I have always had the camera on my shoulder. The most scary thing is that my harness is then connected to the inside of the helicopter. I don't think I would be able to disconnect it. It would take the pilot and a knife to get me out if we ditched.

     

    I had to turn down a shoot recently, and the guy who went instead ended up in ditching in the sea in the helicopter. Fortunately he was okay apart from some minor injuries (the heli was very low at the time) This was in another country which doen't seem to have so much concern for H&S, and as far as I know, it was actually a police helicopter, but a relitavely new pilot who fancied showing off.
