They do, but like many pilots they believe physics can be
overcome by sufficient levels of skill.

I guess I get the idea that chopper pilots should be aware of everything around them when they are in the pilot seat. I worked for a couple of years for a Canadian AMO (Authorized Maintenance Organization) that operated out of space rented from a very active helicopter company. Even though the pilots had their own apron they were always careful about approaches that might come too close to other fixed wing aircraft. It actually was the fixed wing guys who would do stupid things like start their engines with their tails toward open hangar doors.
