I'm guessing you are flying an R22/44 with a teetering rotor head.

In the RFM it says:

"Never push the cyclic forward to decend or terminate a pull up. This may initiate a low-G condition which may result in the main rotor blade striking the cabin . Always use the collective to initiate a decent".

This is why many pilots prefer a helicopter with a fixed or fully articulated rotorhead.
