Safety
While Eurocopter continue to make claims regarding the safety of the EC-225, they have been lucky that the two latest emergency landings on water have been made during periods of uncharacteristically benevolent weather conditions. Had the sea state not been as calm on the two occasions during 2012, then it cannot be ignored that there could have been significant loss of life associated with the situations.

Famous quotes containing the word safety:
“There is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice and the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which are shielded and defended a people’s safety and greatness.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
“There is always safety in valor.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A lover is never a completely self-reliant person viewing the world through his own eyes, but a hostage to a certain delusion. He becomes a perjurer, all his thoughts and emotions being directed with reference, not to an accurate and just appraisal of the real world but rather to the safety and exaltation of his loved one, and the madness with which he pursues her, transmogrifying his attention, blinds him like a victim.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
