This report to EASA argues that the regulators should consider increasing the impact kinetic energy tested for Part 29 large rotorcraft certification to reduce the proportion of bird strikes occurring above the current certification value. This is because 5 to 8% are occurring above the current test criteria.

I wonder if Sikorsky would choose to take a lead in promoting a higher test value in the rule making process.
