And another question may be what seats were fitted. The answer to that question can turn an unfortunate hi-G injury accident where everyone walks away into a fatal.
The 109 is a legacy airframe and some of the original seat options are not crashworthy. The rear bench is no place to be but the pilots seat is usually stroking and modern.
It would not be the first time that an EMS 109/119 has simply killed by a lack of a stroking seat.
