    29$ fail

  2. Fatman says:

    Awwww almost first

    LOL i would pay that much money!!! what a cool chopper ride… To Hell!!! :P

    • farrex says:

      Its like the little kid saying: “when is it going to start flying??” manager:”we promised a ride but we never promised that it would be on the air, sucker”

  3. aimee says:

    You get what you pay for.

  4. teh_pwnage says:

    third! and first who writes first!

    • Dark says:

      …Everyone on ICHC.
      And you’re fourth…

      • Jerry says:

        prickety prick

      • e says:

        “…Everyone on ICHC.”

        Actually, not so much lately, though I admit I don’t read the comments too much because the LOLspeak gives me a headache in large doses. Now they seem to go to great lengths to avoid the f-word.

        But anyway, teh_pwnage was stating that s/he was the first person in this thread to yell “first” – not asking the question “Who writes ‘first’?”

        The other day I saw a comment appear in the top 3 – might have even been the first comment – after at least an hour. Must have been in holding somewhere waiting for approval. Got the “first! second! etc!” BS-waste-of-space comments all bent out of shape.

        • Dark says:

          Hehe, I know what you mean. Plus, I’ve seen that people seem to prefer “not second” to “first” on ICHC.

  5. Dark says:

    Oh man, this is why you don’t drink and drive… Especially if you’re flying.

    • Brandon_ha says:

      don’t drink and drive, smoke weed and FLY!

      • Keelhaul says:

        Too late….
        I think this is what happens when the hookers get kicked off the bunny ranch and have to find a job…..”Sure baby…I’ll train ya to fly a helicopter.”

  6. carnifex says:

    Hilarious! :-D

  7. I have driven past this place, it is right next to Lake Mead in Boulder Nevada… Poor Helicopter…

    • Delphi says:

      Yeah! I recognized this spot, too! We drove by it a few months ago and thought, ‘What a great deal!’

      …obviously, since I’m alive to write this, we didn’t take ‘the deal’.

    • Azz says:

      I was driving past there last week, and dang if that doesn’t look like the same helicopter that was on the pad then!

      Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

      • Cindy says:

        I took this picture about 2-3 years ago on the way to Hoover Dam. Scarey if it is the same copter. The wind had blown it off the landing pad in the middle of the night.

    • David says:

      I was *just* there last weekend! I saw this pic before we left for Vegas and when I saw the helicopter on that mound of dirt I thought it looked familiar!

    • Danno says:

      Me and a couple buddies were going to get a ride from these yahoos last summer, but they were closed… lucky us.

    • Jwong says:

      you’re right. it’s near hoover dam. i actually lol’d when i saw this in real life last week!

  8. flingtehcow says:

    Anyone else loving all the pictures of Tom Cruise that look exactly like a Fail pic, just with the ‘FAIL’ missing?

  9. Anonymous says:

    29 bucks is quite cheap for a chopper ride, apparently too cheap…

    • Kit says:

      What they failed to specify was if it was a helicopter ride in the air… or a helicopter ride tumbling down a dirt hill.

  10. minishaw says:

    id say the crashing was the best part of the ride

  11. d-Shiznit says:

    Aaah never forget your first flyin lesson

  12. nurploid says:

    It would have been a better fail if “$29″ were crossed out and replaced with “$9.95″.

  13. I think the second 9 is hidden. $2.99 discount.

  14. Fatman says:

    LOL man i went for a chopper ride for like 15 mins and it costed like 250 bucks for 3 ppl. Man thats so expensive… but u stay alive and thats whats good for ya lol… I’d rather pay 250 and be alive than 29 and be rolling down a hill LOL

  15. fineprint says:

    Actually, they’re sneaky. As mentioned above, this is at a hotel right next to Hoover Dam. They have a big “$29 Helicopter Rides” sign out front (larger and more prominent than the banner here)…but if you get around to the other side and look backwards (which is hard if you’re driving toward the dam vs. away), there’s a smaller sign that notes that the $29 rate is for a circle over Lake Mead, and that it’s $69 to fly to the dam.

    Karma fail.

  16. Ahsan says:

    I CANNOT BELIEVE I TOOK A RIDE in this same exact chopper 3 days ago!!! I PAID 29/person lol for 2 minz ride…the ride was awesome…but now I am in a complete state of SHOCK!!. lol…shud have seen that comin lol…

    • pilot guy says:

      The incident with the helicopter happened about 3 years ago. The pilot was an idiot and walked away from the empty chopper early one morning while it was running at 100% . The chopper was junked and the pilot fired. The operation is a safe one without any crashes or incidents. They are very up front about the rides. the $29 ride is 2 minutes and goes to boulder beach and back, the dam ride ($59) is 5 minutes and the 10 minute ride goes down the black canyon below the dam.

      • flygirl says:

        This is a completely safe ride and a professional place. They have been in business for over 10 years. Their entire staff do an outstanding job. Thank you for adding your comment pilot guy! The truth be known!

  17. Will says:

    My family and I went on that ride!

    I blogged it with pictures from our trip,

  18. james says:

    Jesus!! me and my grandpa where gunna go for a ride at this same place!! its a tour of hoover dam in nevada

  19. 702 says:

    This is right outside of Las Vegas, near the El Dorado hotel on the way to the Hoover Dam.

  20. E.T. says:

    The helicopter rides are on the other side of the parking lot from where I work (Hacienda Hotel/Casino), just south of Boulder City, NV. I was in the kitchen at the restaurant when I heard about the crash. The dumbass pilot left the helicopter’s engine on while attending to something in the office briefly, and it just took off on it’s own.

  21. Chasity says:

    I think your site is very good and complete, but the information you have here,

  22. loon says:

    *simple acdc chords*
    IM ON A HEEELIIII TO HELL
    dunndunn
    HEEEELIII TO HELL

  23. Graham says:

    I think that’s near Hoover Dam.

  24. Erick says:

    I’VE SEEN THIS!!!
    I actually saw this on the way to my Grandparents house.
    There is a casino just to the right of this pic, and everytime we went by i would ask my parents for a ride… except for the time we saw this.

  25. Jenn says:

    hahaha i lived near there, thats right outside Boulder City, NV right next to the Hacienda Hotel and Casino…too funny

  26. John says:

    That’s a bargain.

  27. Sad. Is that near hoover dam?

  28. oresama says:

    I was on that helicopter the week before that happened. Great experience, apparently no the pilots though.
