Especially if it gives speeding motorists a break.
I presume this is an intentionally ironic reference to the risk/reward of road public transport and the commonly accepted sacrifice of a thankfully ever-decreasing (in part due to legislative change) two and a half thousand (UK) people a year to achieve effective travel?
Anyway, back to the topic. There must be some way to get a better balance for commercial rotary operations here. If this was my industry I would get together with some other operators and work on ideas and proposals which could be presented with consensus and a single voice.
In terms of proposals, perhaps a charitable element or something involves local people/schools/budding atheletes might help.
As a consumer/spectator it would be great to do local aerial tours of the olympic areas. Even if that was restricted to before/after the games, i think that would be popular, fun, and perhaps help balance any loss of revenue during the games. If some overly simplistic green agenda needs to be addressed, some inexpensive carbon offsetting wipes that one away.
