land at the bottom of the hill. you cant roll any further than that.

Also in forested areas, the trees are often just slightly further apart at the bottom, so there may be a clear enough space to crash land, or at least they may be wide enough apart, so that as you are smashing your way down you can collect the tree on the Right side of the aircraft, depending on rotor direction, to try to encourage the transmission to depart the aircraft backwards, rather than coming forward to kill you...

thats what i would do.

will let you know if i ever have to try it and are successful...
