Don't laugh. This what actually done during the Son Tay raid in Vietnam,
when they had to crashland an SH53 inside a compund that was too small
to land in. They lined helo's floorwith matresses and had everyone lay
down spread-eagled on the ground. It resulted in theonly csualty of the
whole raid (on our side)..a busted ankle.
