Oddly enough it does when you go frame by frame. Not sure how its even possible. Backward blades aside lol, my guess is its a camera strap or something caught under the collective. Had an 8 year old kid almost jerk the collective up on me during flight idle not long ago.

I agree, it could be snagged the duals by accident and by the time the pic reacted it was in the rhubarb. Sucks and a crappy incident.  Aircraft are replaceable? People aren’t.  It’s not the first time someone yanked dual controls by accident and won’t be the last if that is indeed what happened.  Other than that other speculation would lead to flight control failure of some sort.  It will be interesting to see what is official in the official release nonetheless.

I think the engineer working on the 500 should get his beers paid for for the next month. Good show to whoever he is!! 👍👍

Aircraft was deregistered by Valhalla last year and the current owner information is not available.

Glad nobody was injured.

They think that you owe them beer if they help untie your machine. They don’t need encouragement.

Remember that if you ever have one of "them" drag your gluteous maximus out of what's left of your "office"!!

Just sayin'...

positive re-enforcement works like a charm. 

and you should be thankful, sometimes those knots are complicated for a driver.

a beer is a cheap reward 

I'd do it for a Lucky.
