Just watched Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry again and one thing got me thinking.

When people run for a helicopter that has it's blades spinning, why do they duck down?

On a R22 or something, yes, I can understand that but you get people ducking even when running up to chinooks and other big stuff.

Anyways, that film always impresses me in the quality of the flying, stupid but enjoyable.
