Current battery and controller technology tends to reduce power-delivery as the reserve energy depletes,- thus the rotary-craft descends in a slow, progressive and controllable manner.
Should all batteries or all motor-feed cables simultaneously fail, or motors suddenly seize, all bets are off......but there again, should your Robinson main Rotor blade suddenly deteriorate to below specification- standard, I believe the scenario becomes somewhat similar!
