Cut the poor bugger some slack?
Did you read the NTSB account? He killed himself and his passenger after repeated failed attempts to put it safely on the dolly. All he had to do was land alongside and be safe.

I spent three years landing an AS355 on a dolly, sometimes on an unlit helipad, so I do appreciate the difficulty.
