looks like you got a cut and pasted answer there mate. i dont know what he means by it, but there's definantly published information in the 206 manual about what not to do.
warning: could cause injury or death
caution : could cause damage to machinery
note: important information
eg. caution : vne 69kts with front doors off
caution : do not try an airstart above 12000ft as the TOT will rise too fast to control
caution : do not light off below 12% N1
caution : do not try to start above 150deg TOT
these are just the ones i can remember, if they realy thought pulling the collective up during shutdown would be a problem it would have a caution in the book. eg. caution : do not raise collective to slow blades on shut down.
also at the begining of the general section it says (from memory) :this section is for standardization purposes only and may not be suitable in all aplications!!
of course you can mast bump if you dont do it properly , you can mast bump just by putting the cyclic forward while the engines running, you can watch the bump stops touch. you can cause lots of damage in a helicopter if something is not done right but if it IS done right it works quite well.
