They are having a rough year up in AK this season. I have flown out of his lodge many yeas ago and had an "event" in one of their Otters as well. No injuries along with some damage to the aircraft.

Last year. Only 5 aviation fatalities in 2014 vs 35 the previous year, and 21 to date this year.

It may be a rough year, but it is still a lot better than in years past.
