For me, as an ex EC225 pilot, the number of accidents, flight hours, and fatalities are just statistics. Of mild interest, and of low trustworthiness.

The thing that makes me not want to get into an L2 or EC225 is the fact that they have had several similar failures that have never been adequately explained. Failures that result in certain death for all on board. Failures the manufacturer has proven a willingness to lie about.

I'd fly in a Comet if it had upgraded oval windows. I'd love to fly in a Concord. I'd even fly an experimental helicopter.

IMHO, flying an L2/EC225 is playing Russian Roulete. Statistics could probably indicate approximately how many chambers are empty. History has proven at least one is loaded.
