The Bell 407 helicopter, registration C-GOFL, landed on a makeshift pad at the edge of a lake following a flight from Postville. The pilot rolled the throttle back to ground idle, the helicopter tilted backwards and the tail rotor entered the water shearing the short shaft in the engine compartment. The makeshift pad consisted of several logs being placed on the boggy ground at the rear of the landing area. The pilot reported that he had landed to far aft on the pad and that the bear paws were aft of the logs and not on top of them as they should have been.
