Two-seater Hummel helicopter concept folds-up for easy storage


Here is a two seat Hummel helicopter.
Perhaps small enough to be towed (in a trailer) behind a Smart?

With a regular helicopter, if the motor fails, you can auto gyro to the ground, but it's looks like with this design, if you motor fails, you are in big trouble.

or a BRS? a ballistic recovery system? It is launched with a little rocket so it deploys very quickly. It is used on light aircraft.

I already have a butt bag from eating at McDonalds. I had no idea it was such a innovative safety feature.

Until the Hummel becomes a reality, your MickeyD Supplemental Arse Restraining System (SARS) is an innovative safety feature only if your smart falls off a cliff or freeway overpass.

My twisted mind had to add something to this...

We're really sorry about the 5,768 lives lost, when the system failed...
