I'm not a huge fan of picking apart post-mishap/accidents that are YT, especially when the frame of the video is so zoomed in, but this is interesting to watch. Not as much for the aircraft part, but the rescue swimmer.
Once he's cut and swimming to shore, both he and the survivor are in the most awkward positions. The swimmer can barely make way because of his position, and the survivor, while floating on the strop, is in the prime position to take a face-full of water (or a rock) into his airway. Just interesting to see the comparison and to see how well the CG and Navy rescue swimmers are taught to control the survivor.
I'm also not really sure what the point was of going down into a low hover over the swimmer/survivor and making their life even harder, but whatevs.
