I think lowering collective to control high TOT is SOP. under normal operating procedures.
Only time it happened to me the rapidly increasing TOT even as I lowered collective followed by a loud bang, rapidly decreasing Nr, sounding of horns, flashing lights and high rate of descent did lead me to execute the “Engine Failure in Flight” EP.
The fellow in the 500 behind me said it looked “really neat” what with the smoke and flame from the exhaust and everything else as I plunged toward the planet.
