Might I suggest that if you have to think about what to do in the event of a donk stop in the curve, it's too late
I use a well honed, well practiced technical procedure called: survival instinct (been with me all my life now).
Donk stops, brain winds up, "fly" the terminal flight path into minimum obstruction path...cushion touchdown.
IF time permits...shut engine(s) down, fuel off. But the chances of being that cool and collected are infinitesimally small.
PS: Did you know that twin engine helo's have dead man's curves too
