would think a normally aspirated engine would have all the torque of a wet noodle thrown at a wall. |

All the humor aside, can someone please elaborate on takeoff technique and hazards from slippery surface like ice? I do not remember reading this in Helo Flying handbook. But one of my instructor mentioned one time to me.
Getting rotor up to speed takes more time than on water because floats are a bit draggy |
All well and good those techniques for operating on slippery surfaces but none of those are applicable in this instance. The helicopter was obviously at flight RRPM and pointing straight until he's fallen backwards off the dolly and ended up in the river. The TR impacted the water before he knew what was going on and from there the outcome was inevitable.

To be fair, I don’t it is how to take off in any helicopter.
