Probable cause
The pilot’s failure to apply anti-torque pedal input in a sufficient, timely, and sustained manner while attempting to arrest a turn during a hover-taxi, which resulted in a loss of directional control. Contributing to the severity of the occupants’ injuries was the inconsistent performance of the seats’ energy-absorption devices, which was likely due to the rotational forces encountered during the accident which were not required to be accounted for during the seat certification process.
