Accident Details
The pilot landed a helicopter in an area covered with tree stumps and cut logs. During the landing, the helicopter was maneuvered so that the skids straddled a stump. After the passenger disembarked and positioned himself in the tree line in front of the helicopter, the pilot began to lift the helicopter vertically.
Sequence of Events
As the helicopter ascended, the pilot reported a drift to the right. The inside of the left skid then struck a tree stump, causing the helicopter to begin rolling to the right. To avoid striking the passenger, the pilot applied full aft and right cyclic. The helicopter subsequently rolled onto its right side.
