You're right, a crash is inevitable.
And the outcome is most likely with badly hurt and even dead crew.
The difference could be in the numbers and the severity of injuries, when the pilot has experienced an failure in the SIM, reacted right in slamming the Collective down while pushing the nose down and into the turn to gain speed which would stabilise a helicopter with a big fin like the Dauphin. It would be nose down - flare- crash, cause the altitude might not be sufficiant for an fly away - but chances of survival would be greater than spinning all the way into the sea.

If a company is thinking, SIM Training is expensive- they should look into the bill of a crash.... 🙁
