I'm kind of on the fence about the whole 'Robinson bashing' thing. Aircraft treated with a bit of respect should be relatively safe but there are always going to be problems during production. This isn't a perfect world we live in. Normal aircraft surely shouldn't be flown out of trim. Unless the instructors I flew with over the years, (and myself when trying to instruct) were all wasting breath telling me to 'get my feet working'!
Many of us 'professional pilots' wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the Robinsons. A lot of us weren't born with silver spoons in our mouth, endless funding to fly B206's etc for training.
Many of us weren't in a position to fly in the army/Navy/Air Force etc
Yes R22/44 have some problems but to keep saying they are dangerous isn't really fair. IMHO. Would I want to fly one again now i've moved onto bigger and better things? No thanks.
