re: If you needed a reason not to stand under a sling load

as stated earlier their are 2 different methods to release the load. A button that electrically opens the hook to release the load and that is on the pilot's cyclic stick (the one between his legs) and a mechanical back up, usually foot actuated that will use a cable to manually pull on the hook release, dropping the load. Most of the ones Ive seen on the control stick are guarded, meaning that you have to raise a cover to hit the button to prevent accidentally hitting the pickle switch.

They weren’t that high, seems like it it was an issue with the weight or load the pilot could have lowered the aircraft?
