The pilot commenced takeoff at a low hover when the helicopter nosed up sharply. He lowered the collective pitch lever and opened the throttle, suspecting over-pitching may have resulted. The helicopter struck the ground heavily with its right skid, causing the skid to separate, then cartwheeled until it came to rest on its side.
