Looks like it was doing an auto-rotation in its attempt to land.

And a real close escape, for the guy on the ground too.

Tails slammed into the ground a few feet away from the guy, lost all tail control, still managed to stay on the small platform !

Probably they were exepcting it... I see the net layed down.

BTW, this is a perfect example of torque effect. Notice the opposite rotation of the baldes with respect to the rotation of the fuselage.

The net seems to be used as a parking harness, to prevent the heli from moving around when the ship sways.  The pilot seems to have taken off when one of the harnesses was not completely removed.  Looks like an accident (unexpected event).
