Lol it's fail rate is x2 as bad as the black hawks and x6-x12 as bad as the cargo planes, but they deliberately rank by fatalities instead. When a cargo plane crashes, almost a hundred people die. When a V-22 crashes, less than a dozen die. Ergo it's roughly as safe as a cargo jet.

A more honest rate would multiple flight hours by number of personnel on each flight. If you get on a V-22 you're chance of dying skyrockets compared to being on a C-130.

edit: found a nerd who points this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helicopters/comments/18cre08/comment/kcd6zsb
