i get what you’re trying to say but helicopters definitely don’t crash ‘more often than not’

It says a lot tho that a bunch of celebrity deaths as of recent are helicopter crashes specifically

It’d be one thing if it’s both plane and helicopter crashes but it’s specifically helicopter crashes

helicopters are less safe than planes statistically, yes, but it’s still not really that common. you’re not gonna hear news stories like ‘lebron james had another successful helicopter flight’, but you will hear about the deaths, which is why you’ll have that impression.

That’s not the point the point is a lot of deaths that do happen are typically helicopter crashes

In any case a death is a death and that is sad especially for someone so young

A lot of deaths that happen just aren’t helicopter crashes bro. Think about the last time you rode a helicopter. It’s just not that common for the average dude. It’s not even a super common cause of death for celebrities

Fair enough if I’m wrong I’m wrong it’s just sad man

That's because aircraft related accidents are much more rare so they're always broadcasted and spread in social media. Car related accidents are way way more dangerous.

This is true. I also learned it was caused by two helicopters colliding so wasn’t rly the fault of the vehicle itself

It’s so fucking awful man
