While performing a quick stop maneuver in the helicopter, the tail rotor contacted the ground, and the helicopter started to move to the right. The pilot "possibly overcorrected to the left, and the helicopter rolled over on its left side." The pilot reported that both tail rotor blades were bent, the main rotor blades were damaged, and the left skid was separated. The pilot did not find any evidence of a tail rotor strike on the ground.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain clearance with the ground while performing a quick stop maneuver which resulted in a dynamic rollover.
