I don't know whether to be impressed or frightened. This video is courtesy of our lovers over at Dethroner. It is a 10-minute long video of some guy piloting a small helicopter and opening beer bottles with said helicopter.
If I understand correctly, this guy set a world record for shortest amount of time spent opening up X number of beer bottles with a helicopter. Seriously, folks, can world records get any more specific? I think I want to hold the world record for most oranges peeled with my toes while juggling squirrels in zero gravity. Nevertheless, this helicopter guy is pretty badass.

Impressive, but I'd rather see him take the caps off with the prop. Plus, you'd have the added bonus that the cap would fly off violently and either knock out the pilot, or send the people watching scurrying for their lives.
AND, that gives them a chance to work up a thirst for a tasty, freshly opened brew.
Sport, fun, and convenience...does it get any better?
I'm not really sure I consider knocking the neck off that first beer "opening", but then again...
that's about as far as I got into the video. Yawn...
Actually, it could get better Geisrud. How about this? For every one he opens, he must consume it then move on to the next one. Now we can really see people scurrying for their lives. Let's see how much of a record he could set now.
I think that video would have been a lot cooler with the announcing team from Most Extreme Elimination Challenge narrating it instead.
But I'm with Geis...the feat would have been cooler had it been something like having bottle openers attached to the blades and opening them like that.
Good lord, when I read that and saw the thumbnail I assumed it was some guy who could open beers with a remote control helicopter. Having it be an ACTUAL HELICOPTER is way cooler.
I was expecting a remote controlled helicopter to use its props to chop the tops off each one.
I definitely don't recommend that clip if you, like me, have ADHD and get easily frustrated.
Wow, Too much time on their hands...
USA! USA! USA! - yes, I did watch the entire clip. Evidently it was a contest between a USA pilot and a Japanese pilot. I think if it was done with RC copters, Japan would've won...
You can't juggle in 0 gravity. Juggling requires items to come back once thrown :p
I just wanna see an orange being peeled with his toes. And as for the squirrels...how many are we talking about?
Is it just me, or is this a Japanese video with Chinese subtitles? Maybe Japan's new PM Shinzo Abe is trying to mend old wounds by offering these beer-opening helicopters as some sort of an olive branch...
So, where can we buy the helicopter-mounted bottle openers? I can see this being the next big thing at airshows...
party foul
With your toes... that's weak. Add standing on your head while smoking a cigar and we are talking.
There should be a trial for most bras unhooked by someone piloting a helicopter. Then I would be really impressed.
Holy shiste!!!!!!!!! I wanna do that!
what really makes this special is someone issued a challenge to open beer this way, and someone accepted it. they had a competition. two helicopters enter the ring of beer opening but only one leaves. that's good rotor to rotor action.
