This all pre-supposes that the falling helicopter was making enough noise to be heard in time enough to get out of the way, anyway.

That’s not necessarily the case. Or, even being heard, that it would be a sound that would generate enough alarm to look around and then, probably too late... up.

I hadn’t considered auto-rotation. I’m not sure what the noise levels would be from the wind.
