Sometimes there are legit maintenance requirements to apply collective or tail rotor pitch during a ground run. And sometimes no matter how much you prepare, sheet happens. Unfortunately, balancing an AS350 #1 TR driveshaft is not one of those times, and no matter how you look at it, there was just too much wrong up front to any make sense of this incident.
