The student pilot was landing the helicopter in a field on his third solo landing of the day. During landing, the helicopter began to yaw and he added engine power in an attempt to correct. The helicopter began to spin and after two to three 360-degree rotations, the student pilot reduced collective input and reduced the engine throttle in an attempt to perform an autorotation from a hover. The helicopter landed hard and came to rest in an upright position. The helicopter's fuselage sustained structural damage during the mishap. The student pilot reported no malfunctions or defects with the helicopter.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the helicopter during landing.
