After landing, the pilot disengaged the clutch, and during the run-down the helicopter encountered ground resonance. With the clutch not engaged, the pilot could not increase the rotor rpm or lift the machine off the ground. The main rotor blades struck and severed the tail boom, tore the rotor mast from the transmission, and destroyed the bubble. No mechanical cause for the ground resonance was established.
