Possibly similar to this accident: Robinson R-44 helicopter crash - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ32J5BWgG4#t=0m55s) (scroll to 0:55 manually if automatic positioning does not work), sorry if it's old hat. Good that there were no grave injuries in both cases (apparently none in the vid).

Nice looking machine, wrecked, what was to blame on this one?

Crash performance of the EC120 passenger cell looks to be good though.
