The S92 is probably averagely safe. The thing that irked me and I think some others, was Sikorsky's (and in particular one empolyee's) crowing about how their aircraft was an order of magnitude safer than the competition just because it met some new paper standards, and therefore the competition's aircraft were dangerous and outdated. As I have said before, compliance (or alledged compliance) with JAR/CS/FAR 29 latest edition does not in itself make for a safe helicopter. A helicopter is only as safe as the weakest link in a long chain.
