Underslung and hoist loads may well be affected differently. Never had any trouble with hoists, persons or stretchers. However, doing 'jungle penetrator' tests at Boscombe, the penetrator, on the end of 300' of rope, started to spin at about 30kts forward speed and developed a curious 'sinusoidal whip' motion and, eventually, parted company !
