He stated the winds were greater than expected (estimated to be 10-12 MPH) and prepared for a high wind landing. The pilot stated that during the landing approach the basket "...impacted land and dragged approximately 30-40 yards before coming to a stop" on its side.
Probable Cause: Pilot's failure to compensate for wind conditions. Wind was a contributing factor.
