I actually did that once but not like that....I could tell from the get go that it was waaaaaayyyy too heavy......it’s also too heavy to fall into the ultralight aircraft category...as soon as a saw the parachute wasn’t large enough....and the vehicle had 4 giant wheels.....
Idiot doesn’t know aircraft should be lightweight....have enough lift and a bigger motor...
As a side note years ago there was a big car crash a few blocks away....they brought a medical helicopter to the local shopping plaza to take two passsengers (victims) to the hospital. The pilot told the rescuers he was too heavy and had to take appropriate action.
He barely lifted off and literally flew the helicopter down the length of the plaza like he was on a runway so he could gain enough speed to get higher.....just like in the video... he cleared the drug store roof at the end of the plaza by 10-20 feet..it was a nail biter....but he knew he could do it.....I’m just wondering how he landed it “heavy” on the hospital pad unless he landed in a field near there and they put them in an ambulance...
He must have done lots battlefield extractions....

Taking a running start in the helicopter was needed to reach transitional lift, he probably wasn't too heavy when he reached the hospital due to lost weight of burned (used) fuel. Just a guess
I know there were some people watching that didn’t think he would clear the drugstore. He wasn’t gaining altitude very fast... depending on the weight of the extra patient he was at least #150 over weight.
Here...... hold my beer...
