During a practice autorotation to a power recovery, the student failed to properly initiate a flare. Because the CFI did not intervene soon enough, the helicopter inadvertently made contact with the taxiway surface and bounced back into the air. The CFI took control of the aircraft, but because the rotor rpm was low, the helicopter settled to the taxiway a second time. At that point, the instructor transitioned to a run-on landing, but one skid slid off the side of the runway and encountered soft terrain. The skid then sank into the terrain and the aircraft nosed over.
Probable Cause: The instructor pilot's delayed remedial action. Factors include the student's failure to properly initiate a flare, and the soft terrain immediately adjacent to the taxiway.
