When I went through the US Army Helicopter School.....One Skid Length was the maximum acceptable standard for ground slide.

Mind you we did do some the entire length of the heliport when wagering who could slide the longest distance.

But as noted....in helicopters the slower you are at touch down in both vertical and horizontal directions the better off you are.
