S76 C+ Offshore Accident Indonesia 20JUL2021
An operator in the GoM managed to roll one over while trying to 'ground taxi' on a helideck
I'm not sure how you can do that unless you were half asleep and had no gas, passengers or freight.
I have no insight at all to this Travira accident. To roll one over with the engine running and not go over the side or injure or kill anybody is a remarkable stroke of good luck.

Maybe, with 40 knots up the chuff, and you were light, and did a vigorous right turn and got a bit of up collective with collective/yaw coupling, things might get a bit interesting. But to roll one over, you really got to try pretty hard to do that.
