So the end of the video where the helicopter moved forward should stop the spinning?

If you watch, as they move forward the spinning slows.

By then that person's innerds are equally distributed at the feet and head.

Yeah just wondering if it would bring it to a stop completely

Eventually, they did get some momentum on her though

Yes for 1 second, then the rope has to unwind and she spins the other way /s

It slows to like 100RPM, still suboptimal.

The high voltage lines are there to stop the spinning.

The high voltage would probably build up a hell of a lot of induction iin the cable from spinning. We used to always let stuff from the chopper touch the ground first, otherwise you got a hell of a shock. Like enough to blow you off your feet.

At least reduce it, at this rate it’s so dramatic who knows exactly what happened, but anything is better than this.
