Don't get the wrong idea... Debunking the 7 most common myths & misconceptions we’ve heard (and we’ve heard a LOT) about heli-hiking. 1. YOU MUST JUMP OUT OF A HOVERING HELICOPTER 😮 The incessant thud-thud-thud of the spinning rotors fills your ears and a craggy, pointy peak with sweeping cliffs on either side lies six feet below the hovering helicopter. Tom Cruise (in full Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell regalia) gives you the thumbs-up, urging you to make your jump. You can almost hear Kenny Loggins shredding ‘Danger Zone’ as you steady yourself, ready to leap… Nope! Our professional pilots work with our guiding team to find safe, level areas to land the helicopters. You’ll only depart the heli once it has landed on solid ground. Exiting the machine takes one easy step down, much like getting out of a truck or navigating the final step of a ladder. Not to mention, your guide will help everyone exit (and enter) the helicopter safely. Stand down, Maverick! ⬇️ Continue Debunking Heli-hiking myths through the link to our CMH:Stories Blog below. https://lnkd.in/g2EJDex9 📷 - Katie Goldie
