EC-120, multi-pilot helicopter? I guess not!
Demo flight with 2 pilots then perhaps? One studentpilot building hours with an instructor not being close enough on the controlls? Much like the Longranger video??

Casualties
09/09/2012 D-HALX (photo) Eurocopter EC120B Colibri (1278)--- EC120B Colibri crashed at Roßfeld Gliderfield near Metzingen, Baden-Württemberg, SW Germany, whilst offering pleasure flights at the annual flying festival.
This type of creeping along the ground is something you'll see in student pilots and low timers ALL the time, as they have been warned about the imminent engine-failure that not: MIGHT, but WILL occur ''so better be prepared for when it's going to happen to you!!''
At least they normally point the helicopter in the right direction. This is acutally lower than most!!
I am sure that there have been more roll-overs with total loss of the A/C, from this manouvering than to engine-failures in hover at 5-15 ft skid height.
