No ; that will depend on pilot skill ;any pilot having an engine/transmission failure within the H/V envelope will/should attempt to land with minimum vertical velocity and as little fwd/sideways/yaw velocity as possible,and to that end will use all the stored rotor energy available.(in the same way anyone in a fixed-wing a/c should endeavour to dissipate the energy during a forced landing..ie if you are going to crash ,do it under control).
