I am!!! Wanted to do one in Hawaii on the honeymoon, but terrified now after that NYC crash! Our travel agent also advised against it. Really? Thoughts?

I think it would be like saying you're afraid of flying considering the amount of helicopters that fly everyday with no problem. I went on a helicopter on our way back to the airport and it was sooo scary but an awesome experience. I you will be fine.
Yeah, but there are all sorts of things we do every day that are dangerous... there was that awful car crash on the Taconic a week or two ago. You still drive, right? There are train crashes and boat crashes etc.
I did a helicopter tour over NYC a few years ago for a work-related thing (from the same company that was affected by the recent accident). I really enjoyed it. But like a PP said, it's a matter of numbers. And airline accidents happen very infrequently, which is why it's such big news when it DOES happen.
We did a tour in Maui and I loved it. I was terrified beforehand but the take off and landing and flights were so smooth, the only thing I wasn't happy with was the one hard bank (I'm a chicken but everyone else loved it). Just go with a good company - our guy was always on the lookout for other planes/helicopters and listening to the tower all the time.Funny enough - I got more sick (left a gift in the ocean) on our snorkeling trip than I did on the helicopter.
