That should be a "bread and butter" approach for any commercial B206 pilot. He had a bit of useful height and maybe a bit of useful airspeed when the rotor was heard to droop. His mistake is obvious. As soon as you hear the rotor start to droop the corrective action should be instinctive, and that does not mean you droop the rotor further in any attempt to land. The pilot needlessly pranged a serviceable helicopter through improper technique, and improper recovery action.
