Helicopter generally are flown in more risk exposure environments and have many more critical parts than fixed wing aircraft. Just the nature of the beast so to speak and I assume most of the people who own and or use helicopters know the increased risk. I remember in 1970 an old US Army pilot telling me helicopter accident losses in Vietnam almost the same as those lost in combat.
