Ah... it looks as though the guy is "jumpstarting" the copter, but in reality the first engine is started (from inside) and the person outside swings the rotoblade so the clutch doesn't wear that much when it is engaged. After the succesfull start and engagement the second engine is started.

Compare it with the pitstopcrew in F1-like cars (A1, IRL, Champcar, F3000, etc). The cars will leave their spots in the pits, but most get a push from the pitcrew (in this case overcoming wheelspin)...

But the topic is valid, so keep 'm coming :D
sorry I don't have anything myself yet...
