    You should be able to switch the engine off and autorotate down in any modern heli design.

    If not then explosive bolts on the blades are a proven method to make an ejection seat work even if they’re spinning.

      Yeah, I know but in this probably fictional scenario something has gone so bad that it’s impossible to autorotate.

      Autorotation also only works well at higher altitudes.
