Were any problem to develop the winchman can easily tighten the strops around the casualty, or use a physical grip
That's the problem in the described german accident. Unexperienced crewman tried to catch the unconscious and slipping lady by her arms, instead putting her arms down securing the strop. A human error of course, but may be avoidable with a rescue nappy.
