Microburst wind shear is hazardous to helicopters for basically the same reasons it's hazardous to fixed-wing aircraft. It affects both types of aircraft by a systematic loss of lift that occurs following downdrafts and tailwind conditions, which are undetected by the crew until the aircraft has penetrated the wind shear.
