The aircraft was spreading manure on a farm at Aka Aka with a monsoon bucket, which the pilot was refilling by dragging it through a cowshed settling pond. When the aircraft turned left into the wind and starting climbing, the lifting strop hooked on the rear of the right hand landing skid and caused a dynamic rollover, into the pond. The pilot was not seriously injured and the helicopter was cleaned up and rebuilt, and the skid modified to prevent a similar accident.
