Always be working. I carried all of my homework in an aluminum clipboard and every time I had down time I'd do homework or work on it. Even if it was just the boring part of filling in required information.

I use one of these metal ones: This is pretty much the same thing on Amazon. They are durable as heck, I can have it loaded up with all sorts of papers I might need. I can fit all of my pens and such. It's a little bit bulky, but it's perfect for my needs. Plus, I know I won't break it when I do run out into the field. Mine may not be the exact same brand as the one on Amazon there, but it looks the same. I picked it up for about $15 at Walmart.
A high vis vest, a hardhat, a radio/walkie, and clipboard are like a real life Cloak of Invisibility (double points if the clipboard is one of these bad boys).
>If it gets sucked into a turbine engine, yeah.
Actually, killing the engine isn't a scenario I'd be worried about. Helicopters can land with a dead engine. Its the bird going into the cockpit that takes them down by incapacitating the pilot(s) or interfering with the controls.
As you said, there is the well known 2009 crash. A 2.4 (average) pound red-tailed hawk went through the windscreen, hit the throttles for both engines shutting them down. You might wonder how such a light bird could go through the windshield of such a big helicopter (7000-11,700 lbs). The helicopter was cruising at 155mph. The windshields on helicopters do not have to withstand birdstrikes like on airliners, they are often acrylic. Take any 1-3 pound object and hit it with acrylic at 155mph and it will go through.
This quad is a ZMR250. Best I can find is about 500grams for a flyable one. With an additional 88g for the gopro4. That's about 1.3 pounds of plastic, carbon fiber and metal. Plenty heavy enough to go through the windshield and incapacitate a pilot.
As for accidents. Here are a few, starting with fatalities:
Now for the non-fatal ones:
I'm sure with some more time I could find more. The point is, yes, small birds can and do bring down large helicopters, sometimes people die as a result. Flying near airports, helicopter routes, or without a spotter is a bad idea.
