It, pretty obvious if you have ever worked in the bush on unprepared sites. The log at the back of the skid rolled out from under the back of the skid, you can see the mark on the rock where the wood has been left behind, and the heli. teetered backward.
It,s not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last, and I feel very sorry for the pilot, because I bet he has been in and out of that site all day, maybe for several days, and for some reason the the little log at the back rolled on him/her.
Welcome to the realistic life of a bush pilot, and some of the dangers that lurk around every corner.

I think this 206 has worms, and like a dog "ski-dooing on the carpet".... it chose this fine set of rocks.
