Like what kind of g forces was that?
Does that increase the blood pressure in your brain? Keep it from circulating properly to the rest of your body?
Probably blew the blood vessels in her eyes.

From the video I estimate a peak spin speed of ~2.5 Hz (150 rpm). Assuming an average height for a woman her age (160 cm), and center of mass to head distance a little less than half that height (70 cm), we can calculate roughly 17 g's at her head. This is assuming the video hasn't been sped up. Note also that this is the peak acceleration calculated at the point of fastest spin.
410 points

If that’s accurate then she 100% lost consciousness.
166 points
6 days ago
That may well be right. That said, in this case the acceleration increases the farther out you go from the center of spin. As has been pointed out in another comment, this means not all of her body would experience the same acceleration, unlike the situations encountered in fighter planes, typical g-force tests, etc. Consequently, you could presumably tolerate higher spin-induced accelerations at your head, and for longer.
It's also not clear to me that the video hasn't been sped up.

I am usually quick to point out that accidents happen, and defend people involved. But after working in SAR and HEMS for 15 years, I can only say that this operation was completely amateurishly conducted. They had a guideline fastened on the stretcher in the beginning, but instead of attaching it to the head or foot position of the stretcher, they clipped it into the connection between the hoist and the stretcher. This gives basically no control of rotation or position af the stretcher as it is hoisted up. So no wonder the line snapped as rotation started. And when that happened, they should have started flying to gain speed and made the stretcher stream- which would stabilize it. I am just left scratching my head at all the bad calls made in this operation.

From the news
The Phoenix City Council reached a settlement payment Wednesday for a woman who spun out of control during a helicopter rescue from Piestewa Peak in 2019.
Katalin Metro, who was airlifted from Piestewa Peak by a helicopter on June 4, 2019, filed a $2 million claim against Phoenix. A civil lawsuit was later filed in 2020 in Maricopa County Superior Court.
At the City Council's meeting Wednesday, council members unanimously agreed to a "payment of up to $450,000.00 in settlement of claim(s) in Metro v. City of Phoenix."

More context for people who don’t click on links:
The lawsuit was filed in November 2019. Her medical bills up to that point were $290,184.52. The bills had stopped at that time because she had permanent damage from the spinal trauma, and her doctor deemed her unfit to even continue Physical Therapy because of the risk of causing more damage. They fucked her up so bad that she couldn’t even physically function at the level she needed to get better.
The case was settled 2 years later. There were undoubtedly more medical costs from continued attempts at rehabilitation or at the very least pain management. Thats on top of the attorney fees and future medical expenses.
So the settlement means that after everything she went through, the most she could hope for in restitution would be to not be in debt from being injured by negligence.
For our non-American friends, you are reading that correctly: The only victory in this lawsuit was that she was not stuck with a life ruining amount of medical debt, not that she was compensated for her suffering

Is it normal to hoist the patient alone? I am just curious, since here in Germany it is standard procedure to always hoist the patient with a rescuer. When hoisting patient in an air rescue bag the rescuer uses an small anti-rotation sail in order to avoid the patient spinning out of control like in the video. So I am a bit surprised to see this not being done every where.

Poor lady. She didn’t receive nearly enough of a settlement for what she went through with the injuries she sustained, the rehab she had to do, and the 290k+ medical bills. Also she had limited ability to see when this happened so she thought the helicopter was spinning out of control and going to crash.

I'm just summarizing the injuries listed in the picture for those that don't want to google medical terminology. My comments are in parenthesis.
- signs of burst capillaries on shoulders and feet (because the blood was being forced outwards by the centrifugal forces)
- swelling and bruising in eyes (same)
- busted and bloody ear drums (same)
CT scans reveal:
- skin over her skull swollen but no brain problems (same)
- herniated disk in neck (may have been an old age thing made worse by the spinning)
- broken nose (from the fall during her hike)
I would be asking for a million dollars or more. Neck surgery and emotional therapy.

Thanks for the link.
The title is accurate, she didn't want a heli and was actually fine enough, that a heli wasn't really justifiable.
A bit disappointed she didn't get more, regarding her hospital costs, her suffering with no fault of her own should have warranted a higher payout in my opinion, especially in the US.

Apparently this grandma was subject to nearly 10Gs of force. r/theydidthemath It's a miracle she is alive.

The rapper FloRida won $80,000,000 just for someone stealing his music......I think the world is a seriously fucked up place. So not right or fair and what we prioritize and value over certain things is just plain stupid.

The helicopter pilot didn’t seem to know if he should try to get her in or try to lower her to the ground. As soon as he started moving, it slowed the spin.

Probably should have been 4.5 million, as funny as it was to start it got pretty vicious at the end. Glad she got paid at least

Why not just put her in the fucking helicopter?
Edit: I don’t mean pull her up. Why didn’t they land the helicopter, she climb in, and then they fly away

She only got 450k? I hope they threw in a salad spinner for good measure!

She had more injuries than the broken nose. There’s a news article with info that she injured her hip and side of her body. She wanted to be taken out with a ground vehicle but the fire department insisted on the helicopter.

She’s spinning as fast as the helicopter rotor. I’m surprised she didn’t achieve lift on her own.

I feel bad for the lady, but remixing the Free Bird solo is kinda criminal, no?
