N835GC second of three ship charter , was hover taxing along Taxiway at about 1.5m above ground, as it approached a small asphalt road to head into apron area it started to yaw to the left 10m prior to the road , suggesting maybe not pilot induced. The first 90deg of yaw was slow then it become quick and the aircraft pitched around. About 3.5 revolutions it hit the ground still rotating.
