I jammed in the right pedal, the yaw stopped (about 90° later) I raised the collective, we hit the ground, and had a good laugh.

Ah, how I miss surprise throttle chops..

,...'course if you're referring to stuck pedal, than well, I've only had about five minutes of stuck pedal training (none of it in a hover) so I'd probably crash before figuring out the correct course of action.
