"That in itself tells it all.....when one strings human beings from the helicopter....you should remove the ability to release the load by any other means than say manually operated bolt cutters or a big sharp knife or axe!"
Doesn't take much reading into, its a fairly overt statement.
That being said I agree ith much of his post, just not that statement.
I've had this argument many times with many people, and I have heard many say no means of emergency release is neccesary, That "I'm not releasing him not matter what".
To me that is unwise, there are just too many situations where realsing the guy on the end of the rope is the best chance he has.
Reasonable minds can disagree, and I know there are plenty of both sides of this fence, But thats my .02
