And, whilst there will always be some single points of failure possible in any helicopter, where duplication is achievable without enormous weight penalty, it is desirable to provide redundancy and also required for IFR certification.

Much safer than having the single point of failure as the over-confident pilot who may make all sorts of errors of judgement and poor decisions leading to serviceable aircraft getting wet.
