OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

I had a close call whilst winching when a rogue wave hit the front of the aircraft with a chap on the wire. One engine stopped and the other (luckily) ran away up! We were at a sensible height for the ship and the job. Had both engines stopped would it have been a winching accident caused by pilot/crewman error? I think conditions can be a factor - so perhaps you are being a smidgin simplistic........
