slope auto options: grim, bad, worse, awful
Thanks for the new nightmare image. Arrrgh.
I concur, however--even though pointing the soon-to-be-scrap helicopter UPhill is unnerving, it has a faint chance of not rolling down the hill backwards (visions of kangaroo balancing on tail!). One would, however, instantly sympathize with folks who jump out of burning buildings to avoid flames. Query: do you brief the passenger(s) in the heli to be leaning out the doors & jump at 6' just before impact??
Making the touchdown crosswise to the slope would appear to guarantee instantly rolling downhill--no way to keep from bouncing away from the slope, then falling vertically back to it, hitting on uphill skid, bumpity, bumpity, bumpity. Maybe the pilot should jump, too.
As Handyandyuk implied, pointing the doomed ship downhill is surely the worst option. "Snap!" goes the tailboom, "crackle!" goes the tail rotor, "pop!" goes the cockpit bubble as it impacts pointed straight down after the heli trips on its tail. Newspapers will have a field day--"The Rice Crispies Helicopter."
Sorry about that, don't know what possessed me.
