THE PLT WAS LOADING XMAS TREES FROM A FARM TO A TRUCK. HE HAD JUST RELEASED A LOAD AND WAS EN ROUTE BACK TO THE PICKUP AREA WHEN THE EMPTY LONG-LINE SLING CONTACTED TREETOPS. THE SLING REBOUNDED INTO THE TAIL ROTOR & DAMAGED THE GEAR BOX WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL. THE PLT INITIATED AN AUTOROTATIVE LANDING, BUT THE HELICOPTER TOUCHED DOWN HARD.
