Isn't that just part of Life?

You pays your money, you takes your chances!

You ever worked in -45F weather where you are the only Helicopter in 500 miles and you have no contact with the outside World?

You want to shut down and hope the engine starts on that mountain side that is 50-60 miles from the nearest Tent, Hut, or warmth?

Compare the discussion about the R-66 making a Precautionary Landing due to Weather and think about the difference in the two situations.

Some are thinking the R-66 folks were in serious trouble.
