Bing - you have obviously not done any HUET have you?

Ever heard of jettisonable doors?

Hoping for an air pocket as you sink rapidly Vs guaranteeing an air pocket while you think about what you are going to do next.....hmmmmmm

Go do a HUET and come chat again.

RVDT: None of the dozen or so HEUT courses I've done have taught the pilot to purposely roll the cab over...where do you do your training?

The ones I used taught: ditch / flot bags (if fitted) / shut rotors down / jettison doors / disorientation arms / egress.
["Walking all over you" suggests you are used to a troop carrier/lots of pax. I am talking about GA light helo and or 2+ pax.
