In the Arctic we used to bang our Pumas into the frozen snow so that the wheels broke through the crust and nailed the fuselage to the surface, especially useful when landing on sloping ground.

We modified the lower aerials so that they pointed straight down; it looks as if they have a similar technique with the Chinook so it should just be able to pull itself out.
