I agree, easy to confirm based on the aircraft maintaining altitude for a few moments too after the failure which means collective stayed up and I wouldnt be surprised if it was raised a bit too.  Fairly accurate to what OEM's say regarding how fast RPM will decay and blades stopping if no action taken, very sad but a very good video to show student pilots regarding loss of RPM after an engine failure and how quick a reaction is needed, especially when you have a bunch of pitch pulled in vs already decending.  Very few videos out there showing that, there is one played at the Robinson course but it only shows the aircraft in freefall with blades stopped.  There are a few RPM droop videos or botched bottom end of the auto but none like this.

Pilot error, and I hope they were the only one onboard. This was extremelly survivable, but poor reaction and or experience followed him to his death.

A 206 blade doesn't run into the frame rate frequency problem as 3-4 bladed vids.  

High inertia rotors like the 206 have a "little" more room to wait to put the collective down, but once it goes down it's hard to get it back up (and he didn't give it any aft cyclic at all).  

An XP buddy told me that once you get below 70% RPM no amount of flat pitch can bring it back... not sure if that's true or not but he's way smarter than me.

So Instructed in 206's for too long now. Viewing the video right pedal was applied soon after engine failure . (left yaw followed immediately to trim condition ie right pedal) This lady appears to have some decent experience, it wasnt her first rodeo. Based on the quick yaw correction/ reaction then why the newbee lag in down collective?  

My gut suspicion....something was blocking the collective. cammera? bags? mag light? . Hoping they sifted through the wreck with crime scence skills, no biases .... looking for the potential for flight control interferance.

God speed to them all.

I always use the area under the collective, after I raise it, for bag storage.

right pedal you could tell she'd been to a lot of rodeos but leaving her hair dryer under the collective was a rookie mistake

Puff of smoke out the right side of the engine deck at about 6 seconds into the video.

Uncontained turbine failure??

  to watch.  Seems like no collective reduction following engine failure or rollback.  Maybe scared to death, literally.
