Vortex Ring In Autorotation

Dr Wayne Johnson states in his book "helicopter Theory" That it is recommended that sufficient foreward speed should be applied to avoid the vortex ring state when making a vertical auto from low altitude following an engine failure! Does this suggest that certain helicopters have sufficient inertia to provide enough power to put them in a settling with power condition?
