Why was the helicopter going down so slowly after the rotor stopped?

Four people miraculously survive a helicopter crash on Honopu Beach in Hawaii.
The pilot was flying around the island when the engine suddenly went out.
As the helicopter was falling out of the sky, the pilot appeared to autorotate the helicopter, a recovery manuver where rotor blades are driven by the upward flow of air through the rotor.
At the last second, the pilot swung the plane and crash landed on the beach.
All four people survived. I am told that one person was injured with fractured vertebrae.

Auto-rotation. The air from falling spins the rotors and the pilot pulls the collective at the right time to stop the fall.
Got to ride with a Ft. Rucker test pilot when he did that in an OH13 nearly 50 years ago.
The test pilots had a contest going to see who could auto-rotate backwards for the longest distance.
