Different footage here -

Chopper pilot had 20 years experience - National - Video - 3 News

Seems that somebody was tugging on a cable & may have pulled it into the blades. It also appears that his seat failed, which was why he ended up on his back at the rear of the cabin & may be why he almost went out the door.

More information in the rotorheads forum.
