Why don't helicopters have published G limits?

That's about it really. For some reason this came up in discussion with my instructor a while ago. He didn't know either. (Maybe some do, the R44 doesn't anyway). It occurred to me again watching the Brazil "accident waiting to happen video", since they seemed at one point to be in an 80 degree bank.

Of course normally you wouldn't get anywhere near the limit (I assume, although of course I don't know what it is)... but then that's true of my 182 too (+3.8/-2.0).

Anyway, answers greatly appreciated...
