Irrespective of where the accident(s) occur, and how many engines the helicopter has, appreciation of human performance and limitations holds the main key to safe night operations.

However, if the industry will not self regulate out of concern for lost profits and the FAA regulators cannot/will not regulate because of pressure from the industry (as has been claimed in this discussion here) then nothing will change until the customer decides enough is enough.
