I wouldn't ride in any helicopter that has a two-blade low mass rotor.

That includes all Robinsons.

Even experienced pilots can get so busy flying in bad weather that they fail to react quickly enough in a downdraft and that's it. Rotor slows, there's not enough inertia in it to spin up when the collective is dumped, it bumps the mast, and that's it. The end.
