The student pilot (SP) was attempting to off-load the helicopter from a trailer, which was parked at his residence. He stated that as he lifted the helicopter to a hover, 'something didn't feel just right' and he gently started to lower the collective, with the intent of landing back onto the trailer. At that point, the helicopter began to rollover. The SP further stated, 'As I gave a quick glance in the mirror, I saw that the right strut had jumped the one inch lip of the trailer and was going down over the side....' The helicopter impacted the ground and came to rest on it's left side. The SP reported 39 hours of total helicopter flight experience, all in make and model. Additionally, he stated he had landed and departed from the trailer approximately one dozen times prior to the accident. Examination of the helicopter did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions; nor did the SP report any.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point.
