With four souls on board the aircraft was approaching tower 229 to pick up another man and on realising that the man on tower 229 was not ready the pilot decided to proceed to the next tower. He initiated a turn to the right thinking that all the eight cables were already underneath the aircraft. About half-way through the turn the_ pilot realised that two of the cables were still above the aircraft. The pilot took avoiding action but in the process the main and the tail-rotors came into contact with the cables. Directional control was lost and the pilot autorotated the aircraft between trees. All four,occupants survived while the aircraft was severely damaged.
