Unhappy LONG LINE TRAINING ! DANGEROUS OR NOT!

Hi all
Recently completed longline traing in an R44
Spent most of the time at 200 ft AGL ( altitude 2500ft 80degrees F)
In a high hover at zero forward speed ( 10 kts wind) with a 800llb Steel line
And hook.

Very limited experience on a 44 can anyone ( and I mean,someone who actually knows the answer no speculators please) in the know tell me the procedure if the engine quits
Just want to know if your gonna walk limp or need a box to get away from it .
Let's assume no time to dump the line or the hook release is jammed .

Solutions please gentlemen.
