Narrative:
The pilot of the Robinson R22 helicopter, C-GHAR, had landed at a gas well head building, 85 miles north of Fort St. John, British Columbia, and departed the aircraft with the engine/rotors still running. While the aircraft was unattended, the helicopter lifted off and spun around twice and came to a rest on its side. The helicopter was substantially damaged, and the registration C-GHAR was cancelled 05-01-2001 (four days after the accident). Aircraft presumably withdrawn from use, as "damaged beyond economic repair", as the registration was re-allocated on 09-12-2002 to a DHC-3
