Dispense with the type of operation (recreational in one, HEMS/fire/utility etc in the other), the relative numbers of hours flown (historically pistons have a small percentage of overall rotary flight hours), then you can convince yourself that statistics removed from any and all context, have meaning.
Will take a Bell deathtrap any time.
its also a damnside easier to read a Bell FM. None of those supplemental safety notices telling you how not to fly it and how slow it should go when things get bumpy.
