I agree....much rather have a small crash or maybe not , from 5 foot than possibility of massive pile up !!!!
And wouldn't we all, in Theoryland. But in Realworld, how many of us lowtimers, with a spinning helicopter a few feet above the ground, are going to have the extra brain capacity to be pulling collective, pumping collective, twisting throttle (the
right way) and shouting b

s at the same time?
Not me I'm 'fraid! I'd love to think I'd handle it like a pro', and I can get my head around the theory, but realistically I think I would probably pull some collective to get me away from the hard stuff and, as Moosp suggests, fly it away if I can so that my spinning brain has time to realign itself and decide on a plan of action.
The best solution? Probably not. But the more likely? Yep!
