Yes! If routine maintenance is performed and the airframe properly maintained these aircraft are among the safest conveyances available for transportation, heavy lifting, miltary operations, and public safety operations in the air today. A helicopter has one great advantage over fixed wing aircraft landing in an emergency. The manuever is called an Autorotation, a term used to describe the parachute like effect caused by engaging the main rotor's blades after dropping from the sky during an emergency allowing crew and craft to escape unharmed. Please remember that the helicopter is the most widely used air rescue vehicle in the world and that accidents are often the result of responding to adverse life threatening situations rather than the aircraft or the pilot. Now go get yourself some lessons and see what it's like to be free. Attitude 26fsak!
