The helicopter was substantially damaged during a hard landing and subsequent roll over during a positioning flight at the DuPage Airport. The solo student was practicing touch-and-goes on runway 19L when he asked for clearance to a Fixed Base Operator near runway 33. Reported weather, taken after the accident, recorded the winds from 140 at 9 knots. The pilot stated 'As I started to land, I know I had gotten myself in a bad situation when I realized my rate of descent was just over 500 FPM with slow forward airspeed.'
Probable Cause: the student pilot attempting a tailwind landing and improper compensation for the wind resulting in too high of a sink rate and the hard landing.
