One of my flight school classmates told me recently that about half of the group is dead...about 1/2 of them due to excessive exposure to gravity and the rest to angry wives meeting shapely girlfriends, love of fast motorcycles coupled with distain for helmet laws, and the Big C. Helos are just harder to fly and more hazardous to life and limb than airplanes. As slow as most helos cruise (~180 mph is pretty fast for a helo), they will get you to the scene of the accident a lot sooner than most airplanes.
