Logic and observation makes cause pretty obvious. The cable is too short ...simple as that!Blaming anyone on ground????Unfair and unreasonable,especially since ground rigger was 1st man into wreck to rescue pilot.!!! Blaming the rigger for a 1metre rope deviation that wind could have caused...fact is imho ,pilot error.He steered his ship into a dodge situation,and instead of blame attribution,he should be humbling up and thanking the fates he is not attending funerals for several dead humans.

Why did he not have a hook release on the helicopter?
I have worked under these type of situations.
You never take your machine below the highest point on an attatched line.
Especialy with all those other lines nearby.

Way to close to objects near by.

The guy on the ground should have never touched that line.

To many peaople standing around.

Not much planning and control in my view.
