You will not have any risk of losing the rotor in a Bell with an aft cyclic movement, unless you know something the rest of us don't know.
Abrupt forward movement is a problem, but aft???
Please explain.
In a Bell 206 it takes less than 300' for the rotor RPM to get back into the green from a hovering engine failure (at a high enough altitude, obviously). Done it many times when teaching the H-V curve.
