let's just say there's government incentive to have these "skybridge" style attractions in cities, but there is zero incentive to make them safe.

My dads friend told me the Earth keeps eating his helicopters so I asked how many helicopters he has and he said he just goes to the helicopter dealer and gets a new helo afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding rotorcraft to the ground and then his daughter started crying.

I mean, helicopters crash all the time, it takes skill to crash one AND survive, which more likely means they crashed due to engine issues and he successfully executed an autorotation landing, which is pretty good.

PROTIP: if you own a helicopter over a year without crashing at least once, you aren't flying it enough. Crashes are a natural part of flying helicopters, just like tweaking your back is part of weightlifting and negligent discharges are part of handling weapons. I crash several times a year because I actually FLY and know how to USE my helicopter. It makes me a better helicopter pilot and navigator, and it's a small part of the price you pay in the sheepdog lifestyle. Simple fact is, the "safety mentality" will build mental blocks in your head that will get you killed. You need to be comfortable putting your hand on the collective and pointing the helicopter wherever you want no matter the time, place, or status of the aircraft. Taking time to check whether the helicopter is air worthy whenever you fly one will serve to make you hesitate in an autorotation scenario. You loving safety idiots are going to get people killed all because of this loving "crash" shaming. Helicopters are inherently dangerous, you need to accept it.

The first pottery wheels were more of just aids during building pots rather than wheel throwing. The pots were made by coil building and you could turn the pot around to speed up production. True thrown pots came roughly a millennium after the first potter's wheel.

Apparently the building aid was called a "puki" by Native Americans.
