Why didnīt they just land and load the poor guy INTO the heli?
Simple, there is still a >20° slope on the accident site. Near the site the slope is up to 50°. The track is fully iced. The skier racing down with more than 130km/h or do you think short before the finish line the area is flat?
No, it's the high speed final part.
Look here, the medics wear special sharp ice crampons to stand on the iced track.

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?
The medics on the accident site are special race medics postioned along the whole track ready for immediate action. The helicopter is also on immediate alert status reserved for the skiers on the race and direct near the track. The ground medics do the first care and prepare the patient ready for the shorthaul. The helicopter comes direct to the site overhead the patient. No ground transport, no carrying. The medics on ground connecting the rescue bag, the doc and may be a paramedic with the rope and the helicopter lift they up. Within 3 minutes the patient is smooth transported above the few thousend visitors and fences and from any possible accident site on the track direct to the medical center also on the race ground. There the medics decide to do further medical care or to transport the injured direct to the best hospital. It's a well and often trained scenario before the races.
It's the same like the standard rescue procedures on a Formula 1 race. Because on this circus on ice is the same money around
Because nobody knows at which point on the track an accident could happen, the rescue is fully standardized and the whole involved rescue personal have their personal tasks. It would take much longer to carry a patient to the helicopter, to load him into the helicopter or to skiing him down than using this way. And it's not a professional manner in front of a lot of cameras and visitors to alarm the helicopter with the call "Try to land her, if not come back with the rope". In the described way the rescue is allways and on every point of the track possible. No uncalculated experiments!
