Very simply...VERY SIMPLY...Ari was flying into rising terrain with an already-low ceiling: Recipe for trouble. He *SHOULD* have slowed down, but kept bombing along at...what...140 kts or something? So it's no surprise that he (ahem) inadvertently punched into that cloud, and then the unstabilized helicopter did what helicopters do when the "pilot" can't see out the windows: It rolled over onto its back and crashed. We can try to sugar-coat it, but Ari messed up, big time and got himself killed. Oh yeah, and some other unfortunate souls who happened to be along with him.
