Absolutely spot on. Putting it down on a suitable spot and call a taxi would have been the wiser option after things got hairy. Even if you have to file a report or whatever paperwork B*S* exist in EASA land or elsewhere: it's your and your clients life. Nobody can p*ss on you for acting in the interest of safety.
