The S76 is a safe aircraft. Esso has been operating them in Australia putting 10,000 hours per year onto their fleet for 35 years. They haven't lost a single aircraft, not even put one in the water. And before that, Bell 212 and B412. And before that, Bell 205 and Bell 47. 46 years total operating in the Bass Strait oilfields, with weather similar to the North Sea, not a single accident. Offshore helicopter flying can be a safe endeavour with the right people and the right systems in place.
