The AAIB's August bulletin has quite a few helicopter incidents this month, thankfully none involving serious injury.
Click here for the AAIB August bulletin list (http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/august_2005.cfm)
The most prominent ones are a lucky Gazelle pilot (G-GAZL (http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/august_2005/gazelle_ht_mk_2__g_gazl.cfm)) and an even luckier R22 pilot (G-DERB (http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/august_2005/robinson_r22_beta__g_derb.cfm))
And if you fly Hillers, it might be worth checking this Australian ATSB report (http://www.atsb.gov.au/aviation/occurs/occurs_detail.cfm?ID=640) into an incident where the stabiliser failed.
