Pulling on the slack rope pushed the rope into the path of the blades... it's all on the video footage and anyone that understands what happens when you pull on a bit of rope will be able to understand...

Hardly speculation really...

The contact of the cable is toward the end

If you're talking about the engine mounting/s, I agree, almost tore it out immediately.
Would make one think that is a weak point, with possible premature failure. :horrified

I must say, you'll never see me inside one of those contraptions :eek:.

Yeah, ask Peter Button (en.wikipedia.org) about that.

This footage www.stuff.co.nz suggests that the other end of your red wire was attached to the helicopter. Maybe the release didn't happen with most of the cable weight hanging from the tower rather than copter
