Look here, another picture a few posts down. G2 thread

Nothing magic about the G2, as it fills in more of the R22 role, you’ll see proportionally more accidents. From the report:
Date Entered:

Narrative:
Update TSB Report #A18P0169: C-GELP, a Helicopteres Guimbal Cabri G2 aircraft operated by British Columbia Helicopters, was conducting an autorotation training flight within the infield at Abbotsford (CYXX), BC with 1 instructor and 1 student on board. During the descent into the wind, the main rotor RPM decreased lower than anticipated. The Fenestron tail rotor became inefficient, and directional control was lost. As directional control was re-established in close proximity to the ground, the wind direction shifted, the helicopter skid tube contacted the ground and the helicopter rolled over. The instructor and the student exited the helicopter with minor injuries. The helicopter sustained substantial damage. The wind velocity at the time of the accident was 18 knots, gusting to 28 knots. There was no post impact fire.
