Probable cause
The improper use of collective control by the dual student which prevented the flight instructor from stopping an uncontrolled roll to the left.

Read the full NTSB narrative
During power recovery from an autorotation landing the dual student allowed the rotor speed to slow. The helicopter touched down on the aft part of the skids and then bounced forward where the left skid contacted the turf. As the helicopter started to roll to the left the student increased collective as the flight instructor was trying to regain control by decreasing collective. The helicopter rolled over to the left and came to rest.
