My post above wasn't entirely without point.
My point was that if you can fly the thing to within 10 ft of the ground there is a pretty good chance you will live. It doesnt get much worse than the rotor falling off yet no-one was hurt.
I suspect the same applies stuck pedals. If you just head for the ground it may be messy but you will probably live, whatever your technique.
I'm sure if people start routinely practising hovering with a stuck pedals it will be a just matter of time before someone writes one off.
