Helicopters over london

Feel free to hoof this off to somewhere else but:

All this hoohah about whether a single engine prop can glide clear of civilisation in the event of an engine failure is interesting, but as far as I'm aware a helicopter with an engine failure will have difficulty doing anything other than plummeting.

Are helicopters that much more reliable than props that they don't need the rule?
