I got into it at 400 agl(photo flight), completely my fault.
I WAS trying to stay above 20 kts, but I failed to do that. Spun 3 times in 3 seconds, full left pedal, and it felt like I was holding a tiger that wanted to break free. Fighting to keep it from spinning, with full left pedal, and that sorta worked, pulled a bit of collective, got a low RPM horn, OK that didn't work, down collective, while fighting the pedals again, tail rotor sounds like I had never heard before, nosed it over to get forward airspeed, with no response, nosed it over again to about a 60 degree down angle, yawing back and forth, and finally got it back at 50 agl over the beach. Got out of the 22 10 min. later at the airport, and the seat was still attached to my behind! THEE LONGEST 15 SECONDS OF MY LIFE. My photog hit my knee and said GOOD JOB, that was FUN! IF he only knew!
