Also due to the fact that - just like fixed-wing aircraft - those that have landed intact don't make the papers.. .. .Crashed light aeroplanes are nearly always seen flipped over or buried in a hedge. Helicopters have different bits to break off but the end result is the same - smashed up gets you in the news, successful forced landing is not so dramatic so no-one hears of it.
