A homemade helicopter exploded near Omutninsk: 88-year-old enthusiast pilot sustained serious injuries.
A homemade helicopter assembled by an 88-year-old resident crashed in the Kirov region. The incident occurred on August 1st during the day, 15 km from Omutninsk.
Preliminary reports indicate that the man dreamed of learning to fly and built an aircraft using a craft method. At the very first attempt to take off, a tragedy occurred: the structure collapsed, presumably due to an explosion. As seen in the video published on the Telegram channel "Aviatorshchina," the helicopter is suddenly torn apart by an explosive wave, and the pilot is thrown out of the cockpit several meters away.
The elderly builder did not submit a request to use airspace. After the incident, a search and rescue Mi-8 helicopter was prepared at Kirov airport, but assistance was not needed — the victim was taken to Omutninsk hospital by ambulance.
The man suffered severe head trauma. His condition is assessed as critically severe. Medical professionals give an unfavorable prognosis, considering the patient's age.
Recall that on March 16th, a similar incident occurred in the Omutninsk district. A small motorized aircraft — a hang glider — fell onto the ice of a reservoir. As a result, the pilot of the hang glider died, and the aircraft was completely destroyed.
