Fine. If you look at the accident history of the Cessna 206 you will find it
has a much better than average safety record, comparable to that of the
Cessna 172 and 182. The most common accident in the 206 is dropping it on
its nose when landing -- not often a fatal mistake, but it does damage the
nose gear.
