My point is, the crash worthiness of the design isn't favorable to passenger welfare. I mean, basically you're sitting on a 2 inch foam padded tin bucket in a Robinson, mostly reliant on fixed steel cross tubes to absorb crash forces (other helicopter types have similar attributes, for sure). And very little space separating you from cabin structures. When you are fare paying passenger in an aircraft, I think a higher standard should apply than that. Anyway, the choice to not fly in such a contraption is often an option.
