At the conclusion of a hunt meeting on the pilot's property, the pilot took two groups of two passengers on a local flight around the property. During the first flight, the pilot demonstrated low-level 'spraying techniques' to his passengers. Witness descriptions suggest that the same manoeuvres were being performed on the second flight. While in a reversal turn, the helicopter struck the ground in a 45-degree bank with a moderate forward speed and rate of descent, somersaulted, and then came to rest inverted.
