My Dad qualified in a helicopter, said he’d never fly in one again.
RIP and sincere condolences to their loved ones...
Way back in the day I was a full-time naval aircrewman. We had to go thru deep water survival training every few years, which meant being dumped off a boat about a mile off shore (no raft) to await pickup by a Navy SAR helicopter. The absolute worst part of that exercise was not the water survival, or the cable lift into the helo, but the trip back to the beach. It was terrifying. :-)
