I wonder what happened to make this helicopter crash land? They almost had it on the ground when BAM! They went down hard!

"i think it was something to do with the gyrostabilyzer because on the initial landing he bounced and probably threw off the gyro spin a bit..but dont know for sure" your exactly right!! i senethis on destroyed in seconds. it was the gyrostabilyser that threw it off balance! nice one!

When I was shown this vid on youtube, I thought/think to have remembered ground resonance or dynamic rollover. Almost looks like combination of both. If the guy couldn't hover steadily due to crosswind, dumping collective wasn't the best idea, caused bumping (itself easy to cause dynamic rollover). bumping can cause dissymetry of MR, so ground resonance (plausible with 3 articulated rotors). He seemed to have steadied it while low with one skid for a brief moment, but then tried to pick it up, which looks like overcontrolling (hard to be cool in this improvised slope operation). I don't think rollover was inevitable as he jerked the other way = overcontrolling, correcting with cyclic but too much collective applied, but then it looks like after he realised that, he tried to counteract, but it got too unstable and DR could have contributed. But that's just an 'analysis' of almost PPL (H), myself.

The pilot came in for fueling so he wanted to land on a mobile platform used to drag the helicopter around on ground. Just as he landed the platform slided away and the helicopter tilted, the pilot walked away unharmed.
