Another single piston engined egg whisk. Most accidents were pilot error.

This is a video of a Cabri G2 accident in Switzerland a week ago. Quite a strong airframe to survive that both in the air and on impact. Try that in a Robinson and I think on the way down the main rotors would have severed the tail and departed the airframe. No idea of the circumstances but injuries were minor.

Good grief - agree with that - a Robbo would have disassembled itself on the way down. Definitely a sturdy little machine for them to survive with minor injuries.
