The Main Rotor Blades severed a high-tension line which snapped back striking the Tail Rotor. This resulted in a loss of directional control. The aircraft then spun to the right severing the two remaining lines before it impacted the ground after rebounding 3 times. The aircraft came to rest on its left side.
