A quick and dirty scan of helicopter accidents in Australia over the past 20 years shows a total 58 fatal flying accidents (I excluded an on the ground rotor strike accident) for a total of 100 fatalities. 52 of those accidents (87 fatalities) were over land, six (13 fatalities) were over water. That's just the base data, no analysis, no conclusions.
