If you use a sideways quickstop in an attempt to avoid a wire strike, wouldn't you now risk running the tail rotor into the wire ( or catch it on part of the ship leading to a sort of dynamic roll over?

And bank angles vs pitch angles. I'm not sure exactly how much of a pitch up angle I have with a streight ahead quick stop but I don't think it's more than 15 degrees nose up(in bell 47).

Someone stated 30 bank should be the max for a sideways quickstop. Seems a little aggressive to me. Wouldn't you run into a risk of mast bumping that at the point of leveling the helicopter? Wouldn't this all so vary with the entry airspeed (say slightly above transitional to 50 mph max)?
