No CYHeli enough isn't being done to protect life. These helicopters are cheap and allow many people to gain a "license" without the skills that were taught years ago. They come apart in the air or crash due to "pilots" simple running out of ideas and are just along for the ride for the last few seconds. You get what you pay for and lots of buyers didn't want to pay for the fire proof systems. Do blame the certification regs. These helicopters are the Ladas of the helicopter industry.
