Yes they save time, but you are like 30 times more likely to die riding in a helicopter than a car. It is quite the gamble. They are great for moving troops in the military or emergency rescues, but poor modes of transportation for individuals. The calculus on the time saved v.s. the increased risk to your life just isn't there.
My wife's father died in a helicopter crash in Nicaragua. I feel the same way as you, not that safety hasn't improved. Unless it's Marine 1, I'd always have my doubts.
