A buddy was shooting waterfalls on a river in northern British Columbia for
a timber company a few years back.  The pilot hovered about 500 feet up in
front of one, and Don loosened off his belt until he had enough slack to
step out onto the skid.  When he got out there he looked down to discover
two loose belt-ends flapping in the breeze.  He said it was an instant cure
for piles...

		My favorite technique for shooting from Helicopters was to
loosten the belt,
		tape the buckle shut, sit in the open door with feet on the
strut.  Gives me
		the willies to think about it but once you get used to it
it's not so bad.
