less forgiving
less forgiving : يتيح مجالاً أضيق للهفوات


Explanation:
I believe it's important to include a "comparison factor" in the translation. Apparently, Helium is being compared to another substance/procedure.
Thus the translator has to mention "أضيق" or "أقل" or any suitable synonym.

You can also use ارتكاب الهفوات instead of الهفوات.
