a) The helipad is surrounded by high stone walls.
b) There are signs on those walls warning of downdraft and objects being blown about.
c) The report says that the victim was on a footpath, it doesn’t specify “public footpath”.
As a result of this one, fluke incident, Coastguard helicopters have now been forbidden from using this helipad. l wonder what the consequences of that will be, considering that helos usually only lift for (time)-critical cases.
Edited to add:
Screen grab of actual sign from the wall:
maximus otter
Perhaps a higher wall is needed to keep trespassing OAPs out? Seriously though if an OAP was blown over and killed the same could happen to children. There's a problem here and the helipad shouldn't be used until a solution is found.
