The helicopter was hired for a party. During the afternoon, a series of first flights happened, without any troubles reported.
At the end of the day, the pilot decided to return to the home base, Wichelen. The engine rotated at idle, while the pilot made a phone call to announce his return.
When the pilot opened the throttle, the helicopter translated slightly to the rear, and the rear end of the right hand skid got stuck in the ground. Caught by a dynamic rollover, the helicopter rolled to its right side and crashed.
