There are a lot of 76s around, as there are 330/332/225s. It doesn't make one type more dangerous than the other.
Fareastdriver, don't be silly. If we had to start counting the amount of lives lost in helicopter accidents, then you may find there are more than 200 lost in the Puma. This is not the point I am trying to make. I accept life leads to death as you would like to over simplify. I just would not like to see more wives and children loosing their loved ones due to an inherent problem that is not addressed properly due to commercial pressure.
