Not a good place to be with a Robinson rotor head.

But only the Robbie has had them added to (reduced speed envelope) following a series of accidents and a great deal of pressure from concerned aviators.

As you come to acknowledge your own limitations - as I suspect many of us older types here have - it is reasonable to question those of the machine as well rather than assuming that everyone who hasn't crashed in a Robbie is awesome and those that have, brought it on themselves.
You don't have to be an awesome pilot to not crash a Robby, just one who can read the manual and follow instructions!
