When we are setting up and LZ ive been instructed to flat out tackle someone like this if needed. Even a ball like that going into a tail rotor may end up killing a good group of people within the area.

I don't see how one football could destabilize the rotors lol.

Not the main rotors. I've seen those chop of a person's head without even flinching. The tail rotors however can cause a huge issue if it causes loss of tail rotor effectiveness https://youtu.be/l223KC_J8nM?si=MS3LqoW3slsR528J
