..does anyone know anything about this prang (http://nothingtoxic.com/media/1232760085/Stunt_Helicopter_Crashes_in_Firey_Explosion)?... it seems rather brutal.

BO's and BK's can get into roll/collective coupling in right turns....the more collective you pull....the more the old girl rolls.
Proper corrective action is lots of left pedal and a reduction of collective.
That would be my guess....and that is all it is....a guess.

This video and accident was extensively discussed in April last year:

P.S.:
SASless: good thing you still have the same guess as last year! :E ;)
