hard to tell from the video, but looks like the sling pulled out of the rigging point. Did not see anything fly off as if a shackle pin had sheared, but I am not familiar with the attachments points on a helicopter like that.

Pilot can release the load in a emergency. Load may have been heavier then he was told. Could have gotten a wind gust. Or had a mechanical alarm go off.

But look like pilot hit the emergency release
