Dynamic rollover??!
The aircraft might be in the forward part of the envelope, but from the footage prior to the set down, the aircraft is level and that tell me it was within c of g when it is able to maintain that attitude in fairly strong tailwind. 2 of the pax was kids aged 6 and 9.
Landing in tailwind with your tail over a concrete structure as shown, the wind will hit the wall and push up on the horizontal stab, lifting the tail. Combined with the fairly rough set down and reflex jerk on the collective from the pilot, you run out of aft cyclic, ideas, luck and space. If there had been no palm trees or other obstacles in the way, it would not have ended like it did.
