Best Answer

Very good compared to a fixed wing (airplane/jet) crash. Choppers flew low and slow. Fixed wing aircraft usually impacted at high speeds.

The only bad part about surviving a chopper crash, was now the crewmen had to fight as infantrymen (grunts); surviving that experience was another story.
