A Bell 206B helicopter, C-FHTS, serial number 1037, operated by Canadian Helicopters had landed on a make-shift lumber pad at a remote site 73 nm south of Smithers, BC. Two passengers disembarked as the helicopter remained running and under the control of the pilot. As the helicopter was lifting off, with only the pilot on board, a bear paw on the skid caught on a piece of lumber and resulted in the helicopter rolling over. The pilot received minor injuries. Help was summoned by one of the passengers. The ELT was not activated. There was no fire. The helicopter was substantially damaged.
