Pappas VidDuring the Buffalo Bill Downhill skateboarding race, held yesterday May 8, 2011, in Golden, Colorado, former pro snowboarder Chris Pappas caught a helicopter crash on video, according to The Denver Channel.

The helicopter was being used to film the downhill race when it apparently got into trouble.

It was pretty windy,” Pappas said. “He came in close to the trees and then i think he lost control and the tail came out and then he just dropped the last 10 or 20 feet.”

Luckily, none of the four people in the helicopter nor anyone on the ground were injured.
