"The pilot reported that this was the first time he had taken off with rear seat passengers onboard. There was a 9 kt wind from the left and the helicopter yawed to the left when it became light on the skids. He continued to pull up on the collective lever and, with the forward part of the right skid still in contact with the ground, the helicopter dynamically rolled onto its right side".
