Bell walked me through this before... if both channels fail, it has a 3rd backup unit that provides similar governing of the rpm, just slower and more exaggerated... so more likely to droop or overspeed if you monkey with collective too much.

If that 3rd backup fails. The fuel flow freezes at previous setting... so very challenging to fly around without droop or OS. They said you would want to cruise for a bit, but quickly find a landing spot and turn engine off and execute autorotation landing.
