I guess if they "were tasked to reproduce the accident" they had remarkable success and should be commended for their diligence!

The discussion also reminded me of a dynamic rollover case reported in Aviation Safety Digest 126 back in 1985, see page 18 of: https://www.atsb.gov.au/sites/defaul...126_spr_85.pdf

The unfortunate pilot of the media JetRanger (VH-CEC) got caught up on the slightly raised side of a concrete refuelling pad which is seen in a photo of the accident scene. Article says the pilot was bringing the 206B to the hover and attempted to correct with cyclic but the helicopter rolled over.
