There ain't no way this guy hits a moving tail rotor and a) survives, b)even comes close to it. The lowest blade on a turning Blackhawk tail rotor is 6 ft 7 inches above the ground. This guy is riding a snowmobile. Unless he got some air or ran up a slope he's not coming anywhere near it. Think about how hunched down you are on a snowmobile. It's like a Ski-Doo.

no the blades were not turning, it was broken down and not running.

it was left at an old abandoned airport that locals used as a place to ride snow mobiles at.

drunk idiot ran into a stationary non running helicopter that was parked at an old unused abandoned airport
