PROBABLE CAUSE
With regard to this accident, it is estimated that the aircraft, during repeated attempts by the fellow pilot to lift a log that had not been completely severed from its root, tipped forward, was restrained by the wire rope attached to the log and, owing to the fellow pilot’s subsequent upward movement of the collective pitch lever, struck the slope in that condition, resulting in the aircraft being destroyed and the pilots being seriously injured.
