accidents will in all likelihood occur far more frequently than other aircraft accidents,
regardless of pilot training or equipment maintenance.
A third problem with the argument is that the statistical evidence upon which it
relies is too vague to be informative. The statistics concerning aircraft accidents may
have been based on all types of accidents, whether minor or major. The statistics would
be more meaningful if we knew that the accidents to which they refer were all of

helicopters is actually lower than for other aircraft. Additionally, we are not told the
time period of the survey. An old survey or one that covered only a brief time period
would be poor evidence in support of the authors claim.
