Did you see that list of accidents in the article? Wow.

The list didn't seem that long for an airfield that popular with a non-traditional approach. Nor did the list entirely match that of the AOPA ASI:

http://www.aopa.org/asf/ntsb/searchResults.cfm?identifier=3U2&helicopter=BOTH
(Not sure if that will work if you aren't an AOPA member with a web account.)

ASI shows 14 accidents since 1993, with only 2 of those involving fatalities.

To get a proper perspective it may be worthwhile to query different airports in the AOPA airports directory and click on the "Accident Reports" for them (near the bottom of the airport's page under Air Safety Institute Resources.)
