Yeah I’m no expert, but with planes as you lose altitude you pick up airspeed. I’d presume it’s the same way with helicopters. It’s really easy in a plane to get disoriented as **** and not know which the **** way is up. I’d presume that part would be worse in a helicopter because you’re controlling all 3 axis.
Like I said before that’s what happened to the dude from my town. He got ****ed up in the fog and came through the fog headed straight down.
Pure speculation but I can see it happening.
