These aircraft were designed for far more then rig hopping, VIP and taxi ops. They were built for JUST THIS!
I totally agree, but rescues and military/police operations aren't the same that shows. I don't know nothing about this particular accident, but we all know the "camera effect" on displays. Some years ago I witnessed a Colombian Army's BlackHawk perform the same demonstration and I didn't like the steep turns and quick stops with the troops still hanging in the rope at all.
