Looks like he was practising an autorotation and lost control...

Low rotor rpm horn blaring away, not fast enough dumping the collective. One of the insidious traits of the Robinsons is that the rotor system doesn't have a whole bunch of inertia, not much energy, and the rpm decays rapidly, leaving nothing at the bottom to flare out. Rule one: Thou'st shall maintain rotor RPM, for this is thyne staff of life; lest the ground rise up and smite thee. 550fpm and it wil not wind up. The mitigating factor is, any landing you can walk away from is a win.
