Reminds of a saying from the FW world but may be fits helicopters too "In a twin, when an engine fails, the remaining engine will fly you to the scene of the accident"

Nope...in all the above helicopter types, an engine failure above Vbroc should result in continued flight and a safe landing. And as for that S76B, even at a hefty weight you can probably hover that beast on one engine! Love those PT6 engines.
