Cars become a lot safer when they close entire stretches of highways for you, the driver is a professionally trained driver, and never gets distracted or drunk while driving; and you’re driving something heavily up-armored.

Helicopters are very complicated machines for whom total engine failure inevitably leads to a crash- a crash that generally people can’t walk away from.

Yes it’s possible to safely land a helicopter without power- and most everywhere doing so is part of pilot training for rotary licenses. Those training landings are a) known, b) in ideal locations where it’s safe to land, c) generally in an aircraft that hasn’t lost control.

Even then, they fuck it up they’re dead.
