Somewhat off topic:

I will never, ever, get in a helicopter. People ask why?? Well let's see: IF IT BREAKS, YOU DIE. If an airplane's engine breaks, you can coast and possibly land. If a car's engine breaks, you coast off to the side of the road. If a boat's engine dies, you just get stuck in the water. If a helicopter's engine breaks, it falls out of the sky and you die. There is no coasting, there is no safety, you're dead. I think it's absurd to get in an aircraft that is suspended in air by a mechanical motor. At least airplanes can fly without an engine, if not slowly towards the ground.
