FL, as usual, hits the nail on the head!
A little statistic which may be useful for such occasions is that (in the UK) helicopter flying is the only significant form of transport that has NEVER caused injury or death to anyone not involved in it.
(Unless someone knows any diifferent, that is).
If you then add into the balance all the people whose lives have been saved by the use of helicopters, helicopters have a unique contribution to the safety and wellbeing of those not involved with them.
