While flying at a height of two or three meters, perpendicular to its landing zone, the pilot acted on the general pitch command in order to climb above the level of the dike. At this moment the pilot indicated that the cabin of the helicopter started rotating to the left. A skid touched the ground and the pilot was unable to stabilize the helicopter which crashed at the bottom of the dyke.
