Because a properly executed autorotation is a very controlled landing
with
g-forces no different than a normal landing.

NTSB database is full of reports of Jet Rangers and the like breaking
skids when being autorotated by professional pilots.

Just because they are professional pilots doesn't mean the autorotation that
broke the skids was properly executed. And for every 1 that broke the skids
there are no telling how many that did no damage to the airframe.

Is there a single case of a BRS being used on ANY aircraft that the airframe
wasn't damaged? And looking at the air scooter if the airframe is damaged
you can bet your ass that the pilot will be as well.
