Neymar's helicopter suffered a mechanical failure that frustrated the trip on February 29, when the helicopter was heading to Mangaratiba, green Coast of Brazil. Neymar was not on board, he was in Paris.
Neymar missed the carnivals in Brazil, and he is probably relieved by it now because his helicopter gave the scare to suffer some unexpected vibrations its main rotor.
According to Brazilian radio 'Tupi FM', the aircraft had to abort its flight to that destination when these problems were detected, as a precaution. The incident was resolved without major problems.
No one aboard the device was injured. Neymar, either, because he was in Paris. Despite being sanctioned last weekend, the Brazilian fulfilled his promise & not attended the carnivals.
