in a Vortex Ring on a couple's pleasure flight
That thing took their copter and just tossed it to the ground like a toy
or "vortex ring state". The pilot was slow and the wind must have been from behind, meaning even though he was moving forward, his effective airspeed was at or near zero. If you descend with no airspeed, you settle into your own rotor downwash, and sink like a stone. More collective pitch, your instinctive reaction, only makes things worse (note the low rotor horn as he descends.)
The moral is...NEVER descend like this without knowing which way the wind is blowing.
Yes, I am a helicopter pilot.
New pants please!
