A RUSSIAN pilot has been suspended after a man was DUCK-TAPED to the underside\u00a0of a helicopter and flown over an airfield. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The idiotic stunt was organised by internet prankster Mikhail Litvin, 21 who suggested that the clip could become \u201ca cult video.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the shocking footage posted online, associate Yevgeny \u2018Zkeka\u2019 Namitov, 25, is seen hanging above the group from the bottom of a plane, held only by normal gaffer tape. \u00a0<\/p>\n

As the crazy daredevil than takes to the skies over the Myachkovo airfield in\u00a0Moscow he can be heard saying \u201cit\u2019s very beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Litvin then proceeds to egg on his \u2018friend\u2019 shouting \u201cgo on, brother\u2026 we live only once and need to remember this moment\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, the prank soon landed the group\u00a0 in hot water as an investigation was launched into the \u201clife-threatening\u201d flight hundreds of feet high.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The decision was quickly taken to suspend polit Alexander Nazarov, 31, from making flights with his helicopter grounded indefinitely.<\/p>\n

The ex-military airman is now being probed by the Russian Investigative Committee.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A statement said: \u201cThe pilot, acting on the instructions of the blogger, allowed the participants in the video to attach the man to the lower part of the helicopter fuselage with adhesive tape. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe flew in a way that did not meet safety requirements, putting the life and health of the hero of the plot in danger\u201d.<\/p>\n

After criminal investigators checked the \u201creckless flight\u201d, Namitov claimedthat there were hidden safety measures in place. <\/p>\n

This is the not the first time YouTuber Litvin has made controversial video content for his 20 million social media followers.<\/p>\n

Last year it was reported that he destroyed his \u00a3131,000 Mercedes in a fireball after claiming it had defects that the\u00a0company failed to fix.\u00a0<\/p>\n
