It looks to me like this accident was pilot error and had nothing to do with the aircraft capabilities.
It may have something to do with it; I don't know. In addition the 600N has one the highest disc loading figures in its weight class. What it means is that unless the pilot executes an almost flawless autorotation from entry to touchdown, his/her chances of not damaging the aircraft are slim. Very little margin for error in my opinion.
