No, that was the boys wish..

Dear Noel,

Can you arrange for me to die in a helicopter accident.
Jim Saville hasn't came up with the goods at all...

Yours

A little boy

i can't help thinking of bob mortimers impression of edmonds in which he appears in what can only be described as a body stocking with sticky-out elbows and nobly knees. it makes me laugh just thinking about it

I thought it was a Bunjee jumping accident?

Here we go:
Television Tragedy
This happened years and years ago when bungee was still quite a new sport. It's quite a well documented story, but I can't seem to find any so I am recalling it from memory.

It was on Noel Edmonds British TV show (with Mike Smith) They used to arrange dangerous stunts for people from the audience to participate in. One volunteer was chosen to do a bungee. I have heard two versions of this story and would like to know which is true. Sadly they both have the same gruesome outcome. Version 1 is that the rope was not attached and the guy plummeted to meet the reaper. The second is that there was a fault with the way the crane was attached to the cage and this failed. I image there would be a higher death rate for the second story.

Extra Info from: Jos Martin

Though strictly a bungee disaster, there were no jumpmasters of any sort on the site. The BBC decided that they knew better than everyone and got their stunt co-ordinator on the case. The failure was actually a Carabina which wasn't backed up. Again Ding will have far more information on this one.

Even more Extra Info from: Joss Gower

Mike Lush the Bungee jumper had no prior exp. in Bungee jumping, also the BBC never called in a Stunt Co-ordinator, they in fact called in an escapologist to rig the jump!! Mike Lush was also to clip himself on (and forgot) and just to top it all off there was no airbag!!!

There was a helicopter crash as well, sometime in the mid to late eighties, if I remember right. It was something to do with "The late late breakfast show" (or something similar) which was basically the same format as Noels House Party, innovative yeah right.

On further examination there was a helicopter crash in 1997 at some charidee bash a little more info here

The one I was thinking of was Mike Smith and Sarah Green's heli-crash.

[M H]

was that the one with Mike Smith and that bird off of blue peter?

[Scoz]

Turns out I was thinking of that one.

[M H]

Didn't they get engaged whilst the helicopter was crashing?

[emef]

pity they didnt get engaged to the rotor blades

is that too harsh?

no, i thought not

Is it bad to admit to having fancied Sarah Greene when I was young?
