Norwegian Bridges "Crash Bubble"

Hi,

 

 Is anybody else having an issue with flying under Norwegian bridges?  

 

I was flying a helicopter low level from Bomoen ENBM to Bergen/Flesland ENBR. (great fun zooming down the fjords) I was flying a visual approach for RWY 17 at ENBR and decided to take it under the Sotra Bridge.  I was at approx 100 ft AGL (radar altimeter) and was looking up at the bottom of the bridge when I "crashed".  The crash screen showed the helo well clear of the bridge.

 

wikipedia says the max clearance is 160ft.  OK, I was close but should have made it.  I've flown under many other ORBX scenery bridges and never had an issue.

 

I also crashed going under the nearby Hagelsund bridge.  It was a tight squeeze but still the "crash screen" showed the helo nowhere the bridge structure.

 

Thoughts?  (besides turning off crash detect). :)
