In the hover or hover taxy, if you can recognise it, reduce the yaw (lower the lever and or close the throttle - twist grips have a distinct advantage here) and cushion the touchdown then you should survive it.
I didn't realise this while practising it during training, until considering that it's always practised at height, with sufficient forward airspeed.
that's because it can be very dangerous so best done in a simulator if you can get in one.
