I think perhaps a couple of reasons he is above the rotors is, one because of visibility and turbulance might be less above and he could strap a chute to himself and eject if need be, or land it somewhat safer with one above it.
They do have some helicopter toys that have a circular ring around the rotor blades, it wound be somewhat safer with them also.
