The pilot landed in a farmer's paddock to wait for the farmer to arrive in his helicopter. On landing he felt the helicopter was settling too much because the ground was soft. He decided to reposition the machine but as soon as he tried to lift off, the b ack of one skid remained stuck and the helicopter immediately rolled over before he could react to the situation. He was not injured.
