Synopsis
The helicopter was simultaneously refuelled and loaded with product. After refuelling was completed, a miscommunication between the pilot and the loader resulted in the pilot taking off before the product hose was recovered. The aircraft was restrained on one side by the hose, causing a dynamic rollover.
