At the risk of getting a bad case of crabs ,
Unless I'm misreading the report, the comments about entering auto-rotation (with student fixed-wing pilots) are specifically about stalling the blades that already have low Nr.
In this instance forward cyclic and pulling collective would prove fatal.
In the context of the report this isn't proven but rather referred to as being similar to another low Nr-related tail strike.
