fast roping has its risks and own dynamics.
Dropping the rope isn't liked by ship captains, they fear it gets into the screw.
Second reason not to drop is the attached ring, which needs checking/replacing after dropping.
From what I can see, dropping the rope would not pose any real threat to the ships screw, so basically f...k the captain!
Second, if that bag with rope had flown into the tailrotor, the ships screw would have been the least of the captain's worries!
As for the ring, that has to be checked or replaced..... Come on, what beencounters idea is it to save a few dollars on that, compared to the risk of the crew of the helicopter, people on deck, the helicopter and the ship itself....(in case of crash on deck with a postcrash fire as a potential outcome)
