The accident occurred during a landing exercise during a VFR training flight in Billund (EKBI).
After approximately one hour of training of different landing profiles in a dedicated grass area for helicopter school flying, the student pilot in a landing attempt unintentionally went outside the dedicated landing area and the flight instructor decided to change the landing exercise to a "hover" in low flying altitude.
The helicopter did not fully recover in this hover, but neither the flight instructor nor the student noticed that the rear left skid of the helicopter was stuck in a bump in the grass.
The helicopter experienced a "dynamic rollover" to the left and rolled over onto its side.
The flight instructor and student evacuated the helicopter themselves.
