Let's face it the real issue here is what should one be doing to avoid flying into wires at 120ft agl - in this case reportedly whilst making a precautionary landing. The wires obviously weren't seen in time, which was probably due to excessive speed for the visibility, which was presumably pretty poor.
The chances are that when the weather is very poor VMC at low level in open countryside, one is often not precisely sure of position, especially as the track has usually dodged around the worst weather, apart from which glances at the chart are going to be just that. Wires have to be presumed to be everywhere, and descent below 300ft or so made only when one is at a speed at which any obstacle can be seen early enough to avoid. And scan for pylons!
It may well have been raining, and from recollection of my Jet Ranger time you've either got to be doing 50kts plus to flow the water off the screen, or really slow. Anything in between you're peering through the droplets. Wipers are a godsend in such conditions, dramatically improving visibility when you really need it. Where they can be fitted, perhaps a better option than cutters.
We've all been there, and at risk, but let's make sure we are reminded of the important lessons!
