Unless the kid had seen it done before.
He probably just got the Mains to start to rotate.

I though the report sounded a little inaccurate.
The FAA reported that a 17 year old was at the controls.
Federal aviation investigators said they have determined that it was a 17-year-old — and not a much younger child — who started a helicopter while the aircraft was on display over the weekend during an air show near Mankato, a U.S. agency spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Not good. My brother in law does static mil helo displays at events. This was years ago but he said it was ok for kids to sit in the seat and push buttons/flip switches etc. I don't remember if they pulled breakers or pulled the battery terminals but it was essentially dead.
Before leaving 2-3 guys would run their flows to ensure everything was back where it belonged.
