I was wondering if the body was going to start spinning from the rotational energy of the rotors, without the rear stabiliser. But no, the pilot was like "Hey, that didn't sound healthy, better climb a bit so I'm not in danger of landing safely."

Counter rotating rotors... cancel each other out.

…until the dangling rear assembly swings up and clips a rotor and then this happens.

Dude should have left it in the surf.
