Some helicopters feature a second rotor underneath the first rotor that counters the force applied to the body of the helicopter by applying thrust in the opposite direction of the main rotor. This stops the helicopter from spinning around. Others, instead of a second rotor underneath the first rotor have a back rotor that essentially does the same thing, which is provide a equal force to the first rotor preventing the helicopter from spinning =0

Why do helicopters spin around when they crash?

They do not always "crash" in this manner. although when they do, it is mainly due the instabilization of the tail prop. ============================================================ if the tail prop is not spining the rotation of the main rotor will force the helicopter to spin in the opposite direction, by air drag, the tail counterbalances this force.

Do helicopters defy gravity?

Helicopters do not defy gravity. They generate lift through their rotating blades, which pushes against the force of gravity to keep them airborne. Without this lift, helicopters would fall to the ground like any other object under the influence of gravity.
