Nine times out of ten that's the finding, it's a dangerous occupation that requires intense concentration and training.

..."Investigators chalked up the incident to human error because the pilot couldn’t figure out his position and had to rely on aircraft flight instruments, leading the Blackhawk rolling on its side and break its main rotor.
One piece of the rotor flew off and hit the tail rotor of the other helicopter that was nearby in the training exercise, investigators found.
The second pilot managed to land his Blackhawk despite spinning around after being hit. That pilot’s actions to safely land his helicopter were described as commendable by investigators."...
