My thoughts entirely. At the sort of heights police helis operate at, I wouldn't have thought it possible to stop rotation before hitting the ground, even if you were trying to do it.

Maybe someone with EC135 experience could comment on the disc loading and rate of slowdown if drive is curtailed, for whatever reason.
