ACFT WAS DAMAGED DURING A HARD LANDING ON A ROOF TOP HELIPORT FOLLOWING A PARTIAL POWER LOSS AS A RESULT OF AN UNCOMMANDED ENGINE DECELERATION. AS THE ACFT WAS 40' ABOVE AND 40' OUT FROM THE HELIPORT PAD, THE POWER LOSS OCCURRED AND THE PLT STRETCHED HIS GLIDE TO LAND ON THE PAD. THE HARD LANDING OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF DECAYED MAIN ROTOR RPM. EXAMINATION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING OF THE ENGINE DID NOT REVEAL THE CAUSE OF THE POWER LOSS.
