The issue with the main rotors on most helicopters is control authority in pitch, even on the ground, which is why no one ever enters the rotor arc from the front of the aircraft while spinning, always from left or right. The disc can get to five feet on the H-60 forward.
There have been some horrific accidents on small ships involving the main rotor.
Tail rotor pretty self explanatory.
