Anyone notice that the 'big guns' haven't pitched in so far? Probably it's because there is no single answer to this. React today in a certain way and you might get away with it - do exactly the same thing in the same machine tomorrow and we might all die (different weight, alt, temp, TAS, etc). Try it in a different machine (whichever way the blades go) and everone is toast every time. Trust the simulator if you're brave enough, but remember the way it responds is just a guess.
ANSWER (assuming control failure):
1. Don't panic.
2. Fly what you have left.
3. Don't panic.
4. Consider the wind direction for landing (having already thought about this on the ground one foggy day in advance!)
5. Don't panic.
6. Do everything slowly.
7. Don't panic.
8. Don't hit anything while not panicking!
9. Don't panic.
10. Good luck!
