Helicopter "imcident" question

I was looking through http://www.faa.gov/avr/aai/iirform.htm and found that
a helicopter had an "incident" during takeoff. It says that it became "nose
heavy" and that the tail rotor struck the ground.

Would this be a typo, or am I just thinking wrong? I would think that if it
was "nose heavy", the *nose* would hit the ground.
