After completing a two-hour news gathering flight, the pilot returned to the airport and attempted to land on a dolly landing platform. The pilot stated that he landed off-center on the platform, then attempted to back out and straighten the helicopter. The helicopter’s right skid got caught in the middle of the platform, and the helicopter rolled right and experienced a dynamic rollover, which resulted in substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures of the helicopter that would have precluded normal operation.

- Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper landing technique that allowed the helicopter’s right skid to get caught on the landing platform, which resulted in a dynamic rollover.
