Read the full NTSB narrative
THE CFI WAS DEMONSTRATING A DEPARTURE AUTOROTATION TO A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT. A HIGH RATE OF DESCENT WITH LOW AIRSPEED AND LOW ROTOR RPM DEVELOPED AND THE CFI ATTEMPTED A POWER RECOVERY WITH NO RESULTS. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN HARD, THE SKIDS COLLAPSED AND THE HELICOPTER ROLLED OVER. THE PLT DID NOT REPORT ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEM BUT DID MENTION THAT SHIFTING WINDS MIGHT HAVE BEEN ENCOUNTERED.
