What you know and you don't know about safety around a helicopter could make a big difference.
Here are some important information you must know in order to be safe around the helicopter at all times: Approaching the helicopter - For some, especially the first timers, the sound of the rotor can be so intimidating at the same time exciting.
These two are the main cause of absent-mindedness.
And somehow, they tend to neglect the importance on knowing how to approach the helicopter.
What you should do is to keep calm and be aware of everything that is happening around you.
Do not approach the helicopter if the pilot has not yet given you the signal to do so.
Also never approach the helicopter where the pilot cannot see you.
Approach the helicopter either from the side or front.
Approach the helicopter while keeping your head down.
The rotor turns fast that could cause severe or fatal damage if you were hit.
Also, in case you wear something that might fly off like hat, hold on to them carefully.
If you are carrying long rod or tools, hold them horizontally.
This would prevent the chance that this would hit the rotor.
On uneven grounds, make sure that you approach on the downhill side.
This will keep you from the danger that you might hit the rotor.
Remember this so that you stay out of danger.
