Look at the extreme "dihedral" on the blades in the following pic (The blades aren't flat). Looks like this excessive angle has been caused by a large control (cyclic) movement at low RPM which does indeed look like some kind of control snapped. If the helmet guy wasn't standing there, it would look like it was taking off, but possibly at low RPM. The nosewheel looks like it does because it's turned to starboard due to the pressure applied to it.
