I'd imagine few fall into the mechanical failure.....??
To my knowledge there has been only one Robinson helicopter lost due to the failure of a component. This does not include losses due to overtime components. The Robinson designs are very reliable.

It is the design of the helicopter (read rotorhead) that gets pilots in trouble. But then again I have said this before.
