Not scary at all.
Have you ever been directly underneath a helicopters wash several hundred feet in the air? My buddy fly's a shitter for the Marine corp and I have been near it as it was taking off and I can tell you rotor wash from one of those is mind boggling. I'm sure they knew they had a job to do and were 100% confident they could get it done. But at some point me personally I would say "This is crazy we are sitting on top of rockets". I was saying it would be scary sitting on the pylon directly underneath the rotor there is not much room in between the two.
