According to the instructor, he and the student were busy with training (engine cut in the low hover), when the student dumped the collective (which he was not supposed to do) and the aircraft was already drifting to the right when the right hand wheel contacted the ground and a dynamic roll over followed. Due to the student's physical ability the pilot was unable to correct and thus preventing the accident. No defects were reported prior to or after the accident. PROBABLE CAUSE: Dynamic rollover.
