Where do people get the idea that helicopters just fall from the sky when there's a power failure?

Do people think that others are flying around everyday in machines that will likely kill them in case of a malfunction? Is the media is covering up all the helicopter related fatalities?

People just don't realize there is such a thing as auto-rotation.
