According to eye witnesses the poor pilot hooked in the on the left skidend mounted snow pad under the dolly after leaving the dolly with the left gear and while turning to the left.
Dollylanding is as safe or as dangerous like other helicopter ops. In every minute of helicopterflying the pilot should be ready and concentrated to master the situation or better stayed in bed.
This guy hammered the ship on the dolly like our plank friends say with "positive touchdown". Yes thats the correct way, but only to break the gear. Should be interesting to see this guy placing the helicopter on a small ridge or mountain spot.
This is only an other human error, nothing to do with the "dangerous" dolly.
