It's reassuring that you have to wear a survival suit when you go on a helicopter ride across the north sea out to a rig. That and most the helicopters are equipped with floats so that when they crash into the sea they don't instantly sink
Better to be safe than sorry, worst case scenario
That and the frequency that they end up in the drink is pretty high. Proper risky business...

same as if u are in a plane though..... but you have more chance of surviving in a chopper
