Having worked on AS 332 L,L1 and L2 and S76 ,S61 and S70 Blackhawks for awhile now and having seen the remains of all models after crashes , I know which a/c I would sooner be in (none of them) but the Sikorsky product is a hell of a lot stronger than the Eurocrap (I don't mind super pumas unfortunatly there build by the french), the EC 225 is basicly an L2 airframe which is an L1 airframe with a plug in it ,and as another input said pity the airframe is a "sardine can" I unfortunatly haven't seen a S92 up close yet but all the info i've seen and other Sikorsky a/c i've worked on would indicate the 92 is far ahead of the 225 in crashworthiness and servivability and I won't even go into the the thing the French call a fuel system in the Puma series compared to any US build a/c, only the french could certify a fuel system were the fuel lines are just clamped up with simple hose clamps insted of swageing fitting onto hoses!
