It amazes me that with the hazards of wire strikes known, new helicopters coming to the market do not have a Wire protection facility built in. You think the various authorities would make them mandatory.

That’s like buying a car without airbags and one does wonder if the manufacturer could be liable for deaths that could have been saved by such devices.
