Ag-rotor,
As most of the crashes involving R44'S are pilot error
Pilot error is what causes MOST accidents over all, not only in the Robbies, so what should we "address" as you say??
NASA is testing out "airbags" that would deploy under the belly to cushion the fall, and make the aircraft more crash-worthy. Probably just useless waste of money and effort then....right??

Fact is, as long as there is helicopters, we WILL sad to say, have accidents regardless of what efforts put in place to have a zero-accident policy...Therefore things like this need to be addressed.
Why do you pay for insurance by the way?? I have done so for 20 or so years, but has yet never had the use for it! But I bet, quite a few others have had good use for theirs...
