On YouTube check the Probable Cause channel. Mostly pilot error. Example: takeoffs with parking break set, flying in icing conditions, showing off resulting in a fatal stall, fraudulent ratings. The Tarzan actor who killed 9 in a lake in Tennessee last year was a fraud.
Climate change causes airplanes and helicopters to crash.
Diversity and Inclusion?
If your wings are traveling faster than you, you are already in a crash.
Rotary wing aircraft are very maintenance intensive. Many more moving parts than a fixed wing, (hence, more can go wrong).
Without a break down into general aviation sub-sets where does one begin to even guess. Some very large differences between categories.

There’s a huge hospital/medical campus in my immediate area so medical helicopters are seen and heard all too frequently along with Emergency sirens.
A few years back there was a medflight helicopter circling a major multi-car accident a hal mile or so from me. The chopper sounded like a junker car missing badly, unlike any I had seen or flown in right seat or chartered for aerial surveys, so bad that I called local cops to see if they’d had a distress call...anwer, “nope it’s just X, we get callz all the time but the SOB keeps flying” Always kept an eye out for news about that crate going down.
This subject was brought up a few days ago, and I’m going to post what I did then. I look at Fight24 often. I also live in an area close to several military pilot training bases. I see these guys putting in tons of flight time. At Ft. Rucker Aviation Training Center you can see 30 or 40 Army helicopters in the air every weekday, all day. NAS Pensacola will have several T-38 Texans flying all day, pretty much every day. All of those pilots are vaccinated, but they are not falling out of the sky.

In our part of Northern California, we have all types of helicopters flying around. The PG&E are the nosiest.
