An experienced aviator would NEVER attempt a run-on landing... just slow down and try a hovering auto to the grass when it feels like it may start to yaw too far.

Run-ons are one of the safest maneuvers in any Bell series helicopter; especially if you're annually proficient (sim or live). If not proficient, just play around while at altitude to get a feel for what to do and rehearse it before setting up for an approach.

If your type of helicopter has serious torque and a spin developed too quickly to react (139, 60, 109, etc) then do an Auto (from any altitude).
