I asked on another thread .....
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">It's often said there's never been a Gazelle engine failure. Does anyone know if that's true?
(I've heard there was one possible, but unconfirmed and strongly suspected to be pilot error.)</font>

A beautiful EOL into a sloping field with minor damage.
Thats cooking with...Gaz!</font>
Does anyone know of any other confirmed incidents?
Even if the claim is a myth, is the engine's excellent reputation justified?
