Most of the guys that I knew who got croaked did so via the shitter. The 46 synch shaft parted, from 75 ft all you can do is bottom the collective and crash. Aft head is still powered, forward isn’t. Where the blades mesh means that there will be problems.

Shittter was a constant hydraulic sieve since inception. How that damn bird stayed in service for so long is a mystery to me. Still loved it tho, kinda wears on ya after a few trips in it - ain’t nothin like doin 150+ at 100 ft in a bird that beats the air into submission.
