Offshore helicopter crashes are often caused by companies deciding to fly in poor weather conditions

Companies that decide to fly helicopters in unsuitable weather conditions have also caused helicopter crashes. While convenient, helicopters are not equipped to handle the same weather that commercial jets can. Pilots and their employers who do not follow the basic rules regarding flying helicopters in certain conditions are at a much greater risk for causing a potentially fatal helicopter crash.  

The good news is that most helicopter crashes are completely preventable. The bad news is that many companies do not do nearly enough to prevent these incidents. As a result, too many innocent people lost their lives in offshore or maritime helicopter crashes.
