Would concur with that.
The photo of the crash with a fire engine on the road in between the trees makes me wonder if this was a failed attempt to land on that road due to a possible engine failure/ lack of climb after TO due WAT exceedence?
Even though the rotor would have contacted the tree canopy in the attempt, in a densely wooded area it may have offered the best chance of survival, and certainly the possibility of access for help after ground contact. Which sadly in this case this was not survived by the occupants.
If this was the result as suggested by Tyger then possibly dropping it vertically into the canopy beside the road hoping to lodge it in a tree could be a possible strategy?
