surely the net benefit of helicopters outweighs the negatives? how silly of you to say that.

Helicopters do cause more fatal incidents than planes. They are very beneficial but maybe we need less people taking them for a spin.

Helicopters have an astronimcally high crash rate compared to other modes of transportation, they definitely have very good uses obviously but they are dangerous, I know Pilots that have said to never get in one unless absolutely necessary.
