I would second that, I would believe that the machine would receive much more stress with a fully loaded 500kg bucket on the sling through a little patch of turbulence.
As far as the risk factor I believe the pilot is more likely to become a casualty in another stupid case of inattention, in opposition to that dynamic maneuver were he most likely had his brain wired on.
My point is: the sweet spot for safety is not always doing the utmost conservative flying.
