Wonder if they ever thought what this does to the helicopter?

Remember the early days of the fat starflex on the 350. On longline work we figured out it was like being on the end of a cracked whip. Cracks in the starflex. Fitted a rudimentary "snubber" - piece of old car tyre in series in the longline and it stopped it. Skinny starflex was also a proper fix for it.
