When helicopters lose power they just fall. If the rotor head isn't decapitated then when you get ejected sideways there's s no zero chance you'll be julienned on the way down. It's why the most (only version currently in operation) common method of helicopter ejection severs the head or blades while it's still rotating so it/they spin off and hopefully away and then the seat rockets away. Losing altitude can be described as falling because the fucking thing is unpowered. Agreed, though irrelevant. permalink fedilink source parent
