Oh man! How dangerous is that? One rotor tip in the sand and its all over. Gutsy pilot!!!

In this country it would earn a civilian pilot a 709 ride.

That's not an overly dangerous stunt as long as the front wheel doesn't get snagged on something. The rotor blades were also well away from the ground (by at least 4-6 feet).

Your margin of safety is much narrower than mine.
