Does everyone really think the S92 is incredibly unsafe?
Incredibly? No. But you have to admit, the current Achilles heel is a biggie.

Would you rather fly a sixty year old proven airframe over large distances of unwelcome ocean, or the S92?
I'm former Navy. All of our airframes were older than me by far - sometimes it's better to live with the devil you know.

That said, "extremely remote" applies to most of the potential failure items on pretty much any airframe. You takes your chances.
