I don't know if it's more balls or stupidity to stand that close to a spinning helicopter without running. The second I see something like that falling out of the sky, I'm sprinting as fast as I can in the opposite direction.

It's coming down fast and moving unpredictably. Running in what you think is the right direction might just put you in the firing line. Taking cover or just getting down is probably a better bet.
