But I think it is not possible for Ingenuity to survive tipping over. Even if the rotors somehow survive 500km/h strike onto ground (which I find extremely unlikely) they are constructed to be perfectly balanced which is extremely important at that speed. Even slightly bent they are completely useless.
It is obvious the team understand this and will not waste time on fruitless rescue mission.
