Well, following that logic, a Bell 47 is fine for EMS, too, if you just use the basket on the skid. However, it's 2006 and there's better equipment available.
Sure, the pilot brought this accident upon himself but as SASless points out, the deck was stacked against him. This accident was part of a rash of crashes involving this operator. And of course, all had an element of pilot error. But clearly, there was a systemic failure too.
Take this guy. New hire. Cut loose after a total of ten days training with 11 hours on type in his logbook. Not used to EMS. Not used to operating an aircraft alone. And to top it all off, he's a Blackhawk pilot, obviously not used to having to nurse an underpowered helicopter into the air.
Thankfully, this operator identified the shortcomings in its training and support of new pilots and made great strides to improve those areas. Their accident rate has been much lower lately.
There's always something causing pilot error, and it ain't always stupidity.
