NTSB Factual Report

While demonstrating a 180 degree autorotation to landing, the instructor pilot inadvertently allowed the helicopter to attain an excessive rate of descent. Although he added power and initiated a go-around, he had waited too long to begin the go-around, and he was unable to keep the helicopter from impacting the end of the runway and bouncing back into the air. After hover-taxiing to parking, the instructor inspected the helicopter, whereupon it was determined it had sustained substantial damage.

NTSB Probable Cause

The instructor pilot's inadvertent excessive descent rate, and his delay of remedial action during the demonstration of a 180 degree autorotation.
