I make the assumption that anytime one adds collective one adds left pedal, (almost as a conditioned response).
Might that tend to mitigate the right roll associated with this hazard? Interesting theoretical point ... but ... it looks as though the less complicated approach is the gentle aft cyclic to load the head. Getting the control of the aircraft back probably benefits from KISS principle, per the experienced Robbie flyers (and thanks Paul for sharing your experiences as CFI)


The other point to take away "in turbulent air, slow down" is good advice.
