Quote HistoryQuoted:
To stop the spin you have to move the hoist cable in the opposite direction of rotation (much harder to do as the cable gets shorter). If you can’t stop it, transitioning into forward flight should slow then stop the spin. The trick is not to let it get that fast of a spin to begin with. |

Saw the news. They tried winching them down which stopped the spin, but going up it started again.
They had a line on it which was supposed to help keep it from spinning, but it simply was not working. |

There was a second line to prevent the spin. but it broke.
“About a minute after the spinning began, it subsided and the basket was brought alongside the crew area of the helicopter, which landed at an ambulance.” |

I absolutely hate being spun round and round. When I was a kid I'd puke all over anyone or anything that did that to me then I'd be sick for 3 days.
I'm not sure who I'd be more pissed at if I was that hiker, myself for landing me in that position, or that rescue team for spinning me around like that like they'd never rescued anyone before. If I survived it I'd kick myself in the ass for a week, then I'd find a lawyer to sue the living fuck out of those fuckers. |

It's a known risk, especially with head & neck immobilization. You can't turn your head, so you're just waterboarding yourself with vomitus. Quote HistoryQuoted:

That was terrible. I would have choked on my own puke. ETA: I suppose some of the vommit might have been forced up into the sinuses, but there's no way it got stuck in the throat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Inertia says the vommit exited the patient, forcefully. I wonder if the stomach contents moving "out" from the center of rotation is what slowed the spin temporarily, kinda like a figure skater putting their arms out to slow their rotation.

Someone that’s breathing & possibly gasping, unable to turn their head, is at risk of aspirating things in the oropharynx. This is a known possibility mentioned in high angle rescue literature. |

Holy shit, fucking amateur hour on that rescue. Hopefully whoever was on that hoist gets shit-canned, or at least has to go through a complete do over of whatever training syllabus they use before he flies again.
