Interesting how the pilot claims that the passenger bumped the control causing the helicopter to drift towards the hanger yet I saw no drift and neither did the NTSB.
This pilot had no time to realize he had a problem let alone correct it. By the time he realized he had a problem, he was already on the ground wondering which way he was looking and what just happened
. I don't believe any pilot is as fast as he claimed to be. He and his crew just needed to more careful and this would not have happened.
Also, the damage to the door was minor compared to what it would have looked like if any blade broke off prior to hitting the door. Looks like the door was scraped by the blades. This of course would cause the energy in the blades to be displaced and forcing the tail to hit the ground 1st (I believe fatty was correct in quoting Newton) this would then cause any remaining blades (or all) to make contact with tail section shearing it off.
