Oh, it was in Phoenix? Usually survivability isn't something they aim for when they get someone on a rope.

Upon viewing of a hi res version of that hoist video, that is a light weight non metallic litter so it absolutely should have a tag line to prevent this oscillation. Ugh morons

Even having a dude on it won't prevent oscillations with that kind of litter. So yes, it should have had a tag line that was being held by a person on the ground.

While trying to look this video up earlier I happened upon a video of an Israeli Blackhawk doing a similar rescue, but they had no litter. I'm not certain how they hooked the dude up but he was hanging below the two medics the entire ride up and slipped out and fell like 50 feet back down. Hella dead. Couldn't find any actual articles about that though.

I'm a civvy but I was a paramedic for most of a decade in a fairly rural area. A (horse) lady hung herself in a large barn. The front quarter was open to the rafters but the back 3/4 had multiple hayloft levels.

She used a rope in the rafters and jumped off the top level and was dangling out in space. Good 35-40 feet up. Had to call the local vollie FD to get her down. Naturally they drop her.

Paperwork and assorted bullshit explaining the post mortem injuries to the medical examiner were probably the most involved of my entire EMS career.

Tldr, that report probably isn't as interesting as you'd think.
