Helicopters and Ejecting

[izodn 37]

No, you cannot eject from a moving heli without death. I didn't get to try it when still, but no. After finding a van, we drove WAY past start, found a ural. Took Van to accidently find mysterious heli in bush. Took heli. We flew for 3 straight hours (all on footage btw), and decided to "retire" the heli by parachuting down onto a PBX we found. Turns our we died. Fun day, fun ride, but don't try it.

TL;DR: You shouldn't eject from helicopters!

You have to be above a certain height or parachutes wont deploy...

You hit the rotor blades. Try having the pilot auto hover and climb at the same time. I have not heard of a pilot ejecting and living.

I was in a helicopter last night and the entire group was ejecting above the airfield, having never done it myself I was waiting for the other members to start but it seemed like it worked when the helicopter was auto hovering from varying heights. Not even that high up either, maybe 25-50 meters.
