#10: Helicopter Havoc
If you’re going to do daring stunts and put yourself in extreme situations, you have to be ready to respond if things go completely off the rails. Luckily, this helicopter pilot managed to respond to an emergency with aplomb, setting not one but two world records on the same flight.
Personally, everything in this story terrifies me, from the world record height of the initial flight to the horror of attempting to come down from that height without power. I didn’t even know that you could land a helicopter without power, so the fact that this guy managed to do it in such an insane situation has my admiration.
