EMS dangers.

Unfortunately this is the grim reality of EMS operations that are profit making and not government or charity funded.
The commercial pressure to 'do that tasking' must sometimes be immense.

EMS in the UK is charity funded and therefore the commercial pressures are not there. Although it's a small country the accident rate is almost non existent.

It's the commercial pressure's that can make any operation dangerous whether it be rotary or fixed wing.
