I don't have numbers to put to this information, but Bell Helicopter evidently had / has data that shows helicopters to be the safest form of aerial transportation in terms of accidents per takeoff and landing (which is because we do so damn many of them).
And not by a small margin, either - evidently an order of magnitude safer than fixed wing of nearly any persuasion.
