I hope to heck it gets pushed out backwards and running from an antonov.
If it went forwards , regardless of the ability of the main rotor to withstand the sudden loading, what happens to the tail boom & rotor.

I bet the tail rotor strike would be intersting & the loss of tail rotor from ( lets be nice and say 15,000ft would be awesome.

Then you would want to shut down , wait for the main rotors to stop spinning to snap off so that you can exit the aircraft in a controlled orderly fashion & pull the rip cord to the parchute you knew you were going to need when you signed up for this crazy job.
