What do you mean by safety. Please. Safety doesn't leave people dead. What kind of safety is that? why is it that fighter jets have parachutes but passanger crafts barely have
Still a helicopter, a shit tier flying machine in general that has no tools to compensate for human error or crash protection.
Maybe it has a strong safety record among helicopters but helicopters in general are more dangerous than other types of aviation and 85x more dangerous than cars.
In the picture with the queen, take a good look at all the linkages and crap that holds those rotor blades on. Oi.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this was pilot or maintenance error given the poor weather conditions and history of reliability of the aircraft
