Can't see what the problem is. It depends on your speed when the engine fails but it's a 'skids level' run on landing if suitable ground. If not suitable ground it's a 'skids level' run on landing. !!! No chance of a go around, LOL
I suggest you communicate with Gerry Friesen of British Columbia helicopters (http://www.bchelicopters.com/). IIRC, he had a R22 carburetor body failure at 150' on a maximum performance takeoff. Instant power loss at [arguably] the worst possible place and time. Still can't see what the problem is? Yeah, I'd have a hard time keeping my eyes open through that too.
