The first Hannover Police accident described here was initially a mechanical failure, so the fact that this pilot was on-board both times might just be bad luck. No reason to imply anything else at this time.
The other rollover accident that was HSD, not Hannover Police, was from hanging a skid on a parking-dolly.
Maybe we are uncovering a "Hannover Triangle"! Fortunatly we have seen no injuries of too much consequence and that is a very good thing.
Someone commented on simulators not being available- I had heard PAS was working that issue a couple years ago, does anyone know it that is true or have a status on that project? I just finished a course at FligthSafety in a non-motion AS-350B2 simulator built by Frasca and was quite impressed with the capabilities. The entire device is contained in a room 20 feet by 20 feet and probably 10 feet tall.
