Here's a video of a Gyroplane "bunting over" or "pushing over" once the rotors become unloaded... the final impact is not shown but it's implied the pilot died: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfjBzrSDrV0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfjBzrSDrV0 An explanation: https://www.kitplanes.com/gyroplane-safety/ https://www.kitplanes.com/gyroplane-safety/ > Fatal Sequence > As the rotor is unloaded, both control thrust and the drag of the rotor disc fall off rapidly. With a high engine thrustline (relative to the vertical c.g. and center of drag) and/or with a momentary gust that can increase fuselage drag, the gyro can pitch forward and tumble. Such tumbling, also known as bunting over, can occur almost instantly. There is no possible recovery, and bunting over is invariably fatal.
