I spoke to my son last night about the helicopter that he crashed and
asked if it had the WSPS system. He said, "No". I asked him if he
thought it would have helped in his case and he said: "Maybe".
When I expressed surprise that his helicopter wasn't WSPS equipped when
even an old Huey has it he reminded me that the helicopter was purchased
by the State of New York which also didn't furnish helmets for their
pilots. It was the lack of a helmet which allowed his head injury to be
as serious as it was... he nearly bled to death. The state now requires
and provides helmets for their helicopter pilots.
