The crew of 4 ( 2 pilots, a doc and a medic ) that fly HEMS with a S76 where whatching the emergency evac of Albrecht on tv. And all of us thought WTF are they doing?

Why didnīt they just land and load the poor guy INTO the heli?
If the medic crew taking care of him are from the heli, then the pilot must have landed to let them off?
Why then sling load the poor guy? And if you absolutly want to sling why such a long rope?

Looking att the video the braking area looks big enough for me to land the S76!
