From what I have read, entering a real rotor, one would be lucky to be spat

Thoughts? Some out here can discuss rotors with authority, I'm sure.

Glider pilots use rotors routinely as an elevator to the wave. At some
places, the tow plane tows them right into the rotor. (Formation flight
into the rotor.) So far, all wings still in place and everybody still
alive. Just make sure you stay well below vB.
