Narrative:The pilot lost control and crashed during an air display flight. One spectator (45m away) was killed, two spectators were severely injured and one spectator suffered minor injuries as rotor parts and other debris went into the crowd. About 21 seconds elapsed between take-off and the accident.
The BFU say that video recordings of the accident show a typical so-called dynamic rollover. After the sideways hover the left skid contacted the ground which resulted in deceleration and caused the right skid to have ground contact, together with the tail skid it served as pivot point for the tilting helicopter.
