The S92 emergency checklist does list a single indication for a "land immediately." When the MGB oil pressure light is illuminated and the pressure is below 5psi it becomes a "land immediately."

As stated above, the choice of landing in the trees or in freezing water is not much of a choice. Helicopters are the perfect tool for rugged, inhospitable environments - therein lies the dilemma.
