because with autorotation you use the speed to keep the rotor turning , then pull collective to dump the speed when near the ground, it calls for nice timing and you only get one shot at it. chopper tends to hit the ground hard tho in many cases and theres no damping built into the landing gear so serious injuries ie broken backs and trapping by collapsed seats etc tend to occur. Personally I think choppers are flying death traps and would rather take my chances in a fixed wing with the option to baleout or eject.
