a) do you you need to be visual with surface at TDP so that you can land without damage to property on the ground - in the event of property being in the rejected area-rule 5(3)(a)

(3) The low flying prohibitions are as follows:
(a) Failure of power unit
An aircraft shall not be flown below such height as would enable it to make an
emergency landing without causing danger to persons or property on the surface
in the event of a power unit failure.
Rule 5 (3) (a)

What a laugh. So what if the pilot fails? or tail rotor? Does 5(3)(a) not apply in these cases I wonder?
