There isn't too much of a problem with -1000fpm VS because the air isn't going to flow into the ground, so when you have descended to a few hundred feet, the downdraught should stop.
That stands to reason, and hopefully one day I won't have to remember this thread. But if you are in the scenario as posted I guess faith in where the airflow goes won't give you a great sense of satisfaction.
