A helo with an engine failure is no more dangerous than a fixed wing with a similar problem. The main rotor continues to spin due to inertia and the air blowing through it (autorotation) and this generates enough lift to control the decent and make an emergency landing. True, the glide distance is not as great as with an airplane, but neither is the size of the field required. A good pilot can put it down safely in a remarkably small patch. Engine out procedures are something every pilot practices religeously, wheather they be civillian or military, rotary or fixed wing.
