your pilot most likely pushed the cyclic forward, when tail rotors die, you have to crash at 40MPH to be going straight, or else you spin opposite the blades rotation
Scary thought either way
I don’t remember much but knew that the pilot, (and I wish I rememered his name to thank him again), had us spinnig at about 150 feet above the flightline and we hit down hard and broke the left skid, I was in the left seat, and as I was ripping my harnass off to exit the copter he hollered at me to exit low as the still spinning blades were a hazard, OK, I’m done having my flashback :-)
