Regarding your statement of the EC225 (marketing name of different version of Puma's) "I am not aware of a fatal accident anywhere in the offshore industry in an EC225. The fleet was only grounded by statute in certain places."
This is very strange opinion. When the whole fleet of different version of Puma helicopters were globally grounded, there was a real reason for it! It was the main gearbox lubrication issue. You shoud read and study these accident reports and also the EC's statement how to fix the problem and what they did
Yet again you show your ignorance (I'm being polite!) The majority of 225s were grounded by the operators/customers (O&G companies). Some authorities banned flights overwater but not overland. Some operators continued to fly without restrictions e.g. in SE Asia. All 725s remained in operations. There were no fatal 225 accidents.
I think you'll find that Industry Insider knows his facts - it's a pity you don't
