Jim - are you serious?
Quoting a partial accident record utterly undermines your creditability. Quote the full record or nothing at all. It is the easiest thing in the world to select a 'golden period' and then make an argument from it. Now try the 4 accidents and tell someone that the 10 year mean it is a really. really, safe aircraft an these accidents are just a statistical anomaly.
With a bandwagon rolling. all sorts will join in - however do not let that lead you to believe the whole thing is rubbish. Rotors ripping off the top of an aircraft carrying people who cannot choose which one they fly in, is a very powerful argument.
