I would suggest that you go back to those statistics and determine how many Robinson helicopters lost their rotor and how many of the other accidents involved rotor loss or rotor incursion. In GB and Ireland there have been at least three in the last year. One in Scandinavia and two in the United States.
If a commercial aircraft had those same statistics the fleet would be grounded.
