they do.
At least there is one such, in the Kamov. But before the ejection can take place, the rotor blades must be thrown off. I believe they use explosive bolts for this.
Of course it makes the whole copter a bit more dangerous to fly.

They do, however there is only 1 that I know of.
This is the Zvezda K-37 ejection seat fitted to the Kamov Ka-50 Hokum helicopter.
Charges would blow off the rotors before the seat was launched.
The reason we don't see this in many other cases is simply the question of whether or not they are effective in saving lives. The Zvezda seat was never really put into service.

Would you like to be ejected into the blades atop of the helicopter and die for sure or drop out of the bottom and chance being hit by the copter?

And go where?
Up into the blades?
If you did a downward ejection, how could the chute deploy properly?

LMAO!!! That's FUNNY!
Seriously, though, it's not needed. If the engine were to quit, you can simply autorotate safely to the ground.
