There have been several catastrophic failures recently leading to loss of life. Have ballistic chutes ever been looked at as a last ditch survival mechanism for helos?
It has also been reported that families of those lost are crowd funding to pay for their repatriation. Would a helicopter flight be considered high risk? Would standard holiday insurance not pay out?
