"Die another Day" Helicopter Stunt

I am watching the helicopter stunt from the James Bond movie "Die Another Day". It is the one where the MD600N is pushed out the back of a cargo plane. In the stunt the Engine is off as it leaves the plane with the rotor blades NOT turning. Scenerio: Given enough Altitude, would it be possible to start a helicopter as it is falling and get the rotors up to operating speed and recover before it crashes. Maybe it is one for the Mythbusters?
