Most helicopter accidents are caused by component failure or human error:
- Design defects in the helicopter itself
- Engine failure, turbine failure, rotor failure, component defects
- Pilot error
- Maintenance negligence
Helicopters are used for shorter distance travel. A chopper crash may happen with an air taxi service, a sightseeing tour, transport to an oil rig or in other short-distance travel needs. Weather, maintenance, product safety, pilot training are all important considerations — just as in plane crashes.
