Given the use of terms, like 'impact' and 'hopefully surviving' I assumed you do not fly helicopters.
No, solely that I have an appreciation that auto-rotation is a difficult manouevre to perform given the limited time available and that the landing may not be as soft under such circumstances.

Thanks for replies, always good to further one's knowledge
