On an elevated helideck you plant it in the middle of the circle that is painted there for that purpose. Once you’ve landed you lower the collective all the way down. You might leave it at full noise, or you might drop it back to idle, depending on your SOP. But either way, the helicopter just doesn’t slip off the roof!
Very little damage evident on the safety netting, so fair bet it never had the weight of the helicopter on it. Fair chance I reckon he just had an oopsie moment and came in short.
