I put those down to the fork-lift driver trying to spin a few donuts whilst the boys were out on the job. The only thing I see in all those scrape marks is the helicopter ended up pretty much where it rolled over in the first place. Another possibility, maybe the load was lifted off a vehicle and it got snagged up and some unfortunate pio's rolled them over, with the truck driver departing the scene shortly after all that excitement. Dunno. A total mystery to me. Assuming no major technical malfunction, that job should have been easy for a one-eyed pilot on an arse-about mirror to pick up that load. I'm guessing there were 2 pilots and a load-master with his head out the door, so that job should be dead easy even with eyes closed. Again, dunno.
