The Iranians have yet to discover how "hard" the landing was. In plain English, the helicopter crashed, and we just don't know if anyone survived.

couldnt he simply unfold the sheet on his head to use as a parachute?

That tends to happen when the Helicopter is 50 years old and past warranty

He's currently between a rock and a hard landing.

Iranian civilians are celebrating this on social media

The sad part is that generally speaking Iranian people are very welcoming and kind society. It is always the leaders of a country responsible for that country’s ways.

In the rest of the world a hard landing is the bump you feel at the end of your flight.

A 40 year old Bell helicopter flying through mountainous terrain in bad weather with fog..What could possibly go wrong??

[CurieBohr]

If he passes, maybe Iran can get a less extreme leader and grow their economy and peace which benefits the people instead of a broken ideology.
