there isn't enough power to climb any higher. And if he starts moving,
then the lift bubble collapses. Maybe that's why he bobs up and down
and around. I don't have experience with helicopters but know that
ground effect can be quite high.<br>

However - you are right. That looks very dangerous. I would be worried
about being impaled or chopped up by the spinning rotors in a crash or
the fuel tank catching on fire right by the pilot's head.<br>
