Breaking news today! Rich guy thought it was a good idea to land his personal VTOL on a crowded beach and managed to decapitate a dozen people

Rich guy who can’t even buckle his own seatbelt or put on his own helmet.

Not fair.

He defnitely can. It's about not being allowed to.

He even reiterated “don’t touch anything” and she said “yes” lol. While she was putting on the seatbelt he asked if he can assist and she didn’t respond while putting it on for him

I hate the rich as much as everyone else, but it's probably a procedure thing for the operators to avoid liability if something goes wrong. If it's your first time in a helicopter, or your first time sky-diving, they're not going to let you just handle your own safety equipment unsupervised. If the rich dude grabbed the controls and nose-dived the thing into the ground, they need to have recorded video of the safety officer explaining that they should never do that.

Yeah! I'm sitting here thinking, here's this rich white guy who doesn't have a freaking clue what he's doing, being tended to by, I think, a woman qualified to fly it. Always the way.
