Not an awful lot needs to go wrong with one for it to fall out the sky.
I refused to get in a Chinook back in the day.
Newer whirlybirds are much safer than those of the past, with double redundancy on gearboxes and more and more twin engines. In the past though, k'in ell!

Very sad news by the way even though I've never really followed NBA too closely.

I had a friend who served on the Pumas right up to Telic; although the SF loved them, he explained that they were flying death traps with many, many issues.

During Granby, he was flying it over the Kuwati desert when the side door literally came off, and the gunner was only saved by his harness - not always worn.

He nearly bombed one in NI as well because the fuel gauge was stuck and the flight instruments didn't alert him.
