EMS Helicopter Crash

Emergency Medical Services are used to help evacuate people from precarious situations.  Whether a family is lost in the woods or a lone explorer is stranded at the top of a mountain, the EMS teams are called upon to bring them home safely.  This service is provided to our citizens to help protect us against unforeseen dangers.  Unfortunately not all of these rescue missions are successful. 

There has been an increase in crashes related to EMS Helicopters and other life flight aircraft.  They are one of the most common type of aviation accident in 2009.  Missions that are intended to save lives are actually costing the lives of the people being rescued and personnel involved with the mission.

Emergency Evacuation Helicopter Accidents

EMS Helicopters are often deployed under extreme circumstances.  Bad weather, high altitudes and night flying play into the increased peril of the mission.  Pilots need to take extra precautions in these situations to protect the safety of their passengers and crew.  In some cases the pilot may be taking unnecessary risks or be using equipment that is not fit for the conditions of the rescue.
