Narrative:
The pilot, owner of the helicopter, takes off from the helipad of Archamps with an instructor in order to to extend his license. He landed in Val d'Isère then took off again and went to Albertville where he performed aerodrome circuits.
Back in Archamps, he noticed that the tail boom was crumpled.

Conclusion
The accident is probably due to a lack of technical skill on the part of the pilot during an instructional landing. Although very experienced, the instructor did not realize that this landing had caused damage to the tail boom which should have led him to abort the flight.
