It looks to me as though there is another guy that falls out and is swept over by the tail. But its hard to tell.

I onder what the collective opinion was on that!

He pulled up too much and clipped the tail rotor, the aircraft landed and then the main rotor span the thing up.

I would say that they suffered a gearbox failure on the tail rotor drive, so the torgue from the main rotors went into a spin. Not much the pilots could do at that height.

If you slow it down, look at the angle he hit (with some force) Also the rotor looks damaged??????

I reckon the bloke who jumped out ducked too.
