You don't even have to be a parent, but i would guess its worse for a parent to hear for sure
I was actually talking to my dad about it yesterday and he was pretty upset by it, but he also said its "why he doesn't trust helicopters" (he's airforce but he only ever worked with winged planes )
Honestly i have to agree with him, I don't like flying to begin with but helicopters just feel less safe to me
Not to say a helicopter is a deathtrap or anything, if they were crashing left and right I'm sure we would hear it in the news a lot
But being lifted only by the rotors without wings and 4 engines is scary to me
