Let's please not have another bout of hysteria about the R22 accident record.
The R22 is around in great numbers, and is frequently used for training, which will, of course, increase the risk of training accidents.
Yes, we're all glad that nobody was badly injured and, yes, it's a pity that another aircraft has ben written off, but Accidents do happen, often the causes can be determined and safety lessons learned. The R22 safety process was given impetus in the 1990s by the high accident rate for an aircraft which had brought helicopter flying within the budget of a lot of new people, was highly popular and being mass produced (at least in aviation terms!). Safety awareness, and modifcations such as the Governor, had a dramatic effect in reducing the incidence of mishaps.
Perhaps folk once said similar things about the accident rate for the Model-T Ford?
