Crazy to fly away from the ground while spinning. If you don't keep it perfectly level, you get roll coupling (horizontal spin becomes a vertical spin) and then you are stuffed.
Once any vertical spinning starts, the show stops. A Bell 47 in Sydney demonstrated that one a few years back, trying to fly away from a tail rotor failure at low speed, to get streamlining to stop the spin. The rotation became more vertical, and the result was an uncontrolled crash into Goldfields House and a 400 foot drop to the street, instead of a more controlled sploosh into the harbour on floats.
