    Yeah, helicopters are the apex predators of soldiers and rich people. Even if you pull off the perfect autorotation, the glide ratio is still only a maximum of like 3:1.

    I think I remember reading a report somewhere that more people have been killed by practicing autorotation than have actually pulled it off in the wild.
