Many years ago, a 206B on short finals to land on a dock-side when suddenly cyclic and collective go stiff. Pilot managed a decent landing and all was well. Investigation revealed that one (I don't remember which) of the hydraulic system quick-disconnect fittings had not been connected properly and became completely undone, probably through vibration. Simply reconnected properly and all as well..
