#grandcanyon #helicoptertour #safetyIncident

In a terrifying incident captured on video, a tourist aboard a helicopter sightseeing tour of the #GrandCanyon attempted to grab a lever that could have resulted in disaster. The pilot's quick reaction prevented a potential catastrophe as he urgently shouted at the clueless woman, who seemed to view the cockpit controls as toys. The lever she targeted controlled the rotor brake, a function only applicable on the ground. Dutch tourist Cherlin Bijlsma recorded the shocking incident and noticed the woman's lack of attention during the safety briefing. Language barriers and a limited understanding of English heightened the gravity of the situation. #travelsafety
