SASless, my dear sir.

At the risk of seeming to "raise my shield" and exhibiting a partisan preference for the EC225, which I don't deny, I would suggest that anyone who's interested in survivability following an offshore ditching should go and sit inside both the EC225 and the S92.

It would become immediately obvious that only the most seriously obese passengers couldn't get through the windows of an EC225, while many of the more averagely large-sized passengers of today wouldn't stand a chance of escaping through some of the S92 windows.

Considering that the EC225 gearbox problem has now been resolved by the best experts which money can buy, employing double protection techniques and inspection regimes, there is no doubt for me that the EC225 is what I'd rather have for my wife and children to be transported over water.
