sideways flight - mast bumping!!!

I think that have read somewhere that sideways flight above 17 kts in an R22 can induce Mast Bumping.

Was I wrong and if not would some of you care to comment, its a manoever that is some times asked on photo - flights setting up the shot but having the wrong perspective.

I am loathe to do it as it also induces TR vortex ring state (prefering to go around and set up again) - perhaps this is what I have read before.

Any contributions would appreciated.
