The nice thing, with a tail rotor failure in hoover or low speed is that you DIRECTLY and FIRST OF ALL goes for an autorotation by lowering the collective all the way to the lower stop. You don’t need to think if a cotter pin, a nut or all the tail rotor blades are missing. You -bang!- go for autorotation. If this accident was a tail rotor drive failure you had to land immediately, even if in trees, but here you had a few options like open areas where you probably could make a survivable ”landing".
Look at tailrotor failures like this: If you hesitate to go in autorotation you are toasted, but if you go in to a autorotation and it shows wrong, you can always change your mind. To survive a helicopter, always think negative for a positive outcome.
The different types of tail rotor failures and necessary actions taken are well known and are described in all helicopter manuals
