The Hiller UH-12E pilot was delivering shake blocks on a 150-foot line. The terrain was treed and steeply sloped. The helicopter was in a hover over the delivery site when it began to vibrate violently, causing the pilot control difficulties. The pilot released the load and performed an autorotative landing into a nearby clear-cut patch. The helicopter was substantially damaged by the debris on the ground. There were no injuries. A witness reported that a branch from a tree higher up the slope, probably dislodged by the rotor wash, had fallen into the helicopter's main rotor.
