I suspect most have seen this video before, I saw it a year or so ago...
When I first saw what was being done... I knew what was about to happen.
Glad the pilot did not get hurt worse... or anyone on the ground.

He would have been fine if his dumb @55 ground crew hadn't jumped up and grabbed the cable pulling it directly into the rotor.
