Maybe we shouldn't be so hasty to attribute the "apparent" roll to gyro topple of the camera. The aircraft appeared to have little airspeed and clearly a very high rate of descent: perhaps the roll may have been the result of a secondary vortex state condition.

Not the scenario here, but rates of roll of up to 100º per second have been determined for the R22 in extreme low G roll conditions.
