I’m no professional, but that looks like a loss of yaw control of some kind.

Floats inflated! Thumbs up to their installation, SOP, and pilot training.

Sure are. There are four people who look like aircrew sitting / resting on the inverted AW139 in the various photos in links provided on ASN. I assume that is the crew? In that case, would seem like none suffered critical injuries.

I did some training for them years back.
Nice guys, and competent.
Glad they got out ok from the aircraft.

Training is getting a little too realistic these days. :p

Good to know they are all safe.
Now the question: What happened?
