Helicopters are commonly known as:
- Auto-giros
- Whirlybirds
- Choppers
And these truly are amazing machines requiring advanced engineering and many safety features.
- Even to perform relatively simple maneuvers, the work needed to get a helicopter off the ground is tremendous.
- Pilots require extra exceptional training, and the risk increases from having no fixed wings.
- Thus, auto-rotation and other safety training is a must.
Pilots must also understand:
- How to use the foot-pedals
- Limitations of rotor blades on the aerodynamic flight
Any mess-ups, and it's curtains for your pilot, co-pilot, and fellow passengers like you.
So we know that chopper crashes can be life-ending and risky.
So what else must we know?
- Their construction requires advanced engineering and redundant safety features.
- To keep them flying, they require skilled mechanics to perform regular inspections and maintenance upon them. Unlike a fixed-wing aircraft, these agile birds can’t just glide back to earth if there is an engine failure or malfunction.
In any event, as discussed, copter crashes can easily be life-ending events.
What About Deaths and Vertical Flight?
Unfortunately, the fatality rate in helicopter crashes is high. Plus, those that survive accidents are often severely injured with burns, cuts, and badly smashed spines.
These injuries could also include:
- Brain injuries
- Paralysis
- Amputation and other types of grievous bodily harm.
What Are Some Causes of Helicopter Crashes?
- Pilot error (Helicopter crashes into a building and catches fire, etc.)
- Defective parts (poorly made or designed rotors, etc.)
- Improper maintenance
- Weather events
- Poor designs
Many different hands are responsible for the flight of these machines and could be liable for a crash, including:
- Air traffic controller error
- Flight service negligence
- Helicopter pad operator negligence
- Bird strikes
Due to the severity of injuries sustained, death, and negligence factors, litigation around chopper accidents can become complicated.
This type of lawsuit could require a complete investigation into the circumstances the incident occurred.
- There will be a need for expert witness testimony to become presented and compiled.
