Digging up my mantra...."Ass, Tin, Ticket!".
Do what you have to in order to preserve your own body....and keep it un-hurt, un-broken, and in the same condition as when you sat down in the seat.
Then, take care of the aircraft....return it to its parking place intact, un-broken, with no dents, dings, or unseen damage.
Thirdly....worry about explaining your actions, decisions, and/or conduct to the Authorities.
But....remember....the Helicopter is a re-usable container that can be used to protect its contents if necessary.
If you. have to....use her up....total her....if that is the last resort available to safeguard yourself and those with you.
Helicopters can be replaced.....people cannot.
