As a fixed-wing pilot who is interested in all things technical, please could someone briefly explain what helicopter mast bumping is, and why teeter head unloading is dangerous on the R22/44.

Would a simulated engine failure and subsequent auto-rotate landing dangerously unload the head?

Thanks in advance.
