An Airbus H-125 helicopter crashed in France while taking in water to fight a fire. The two pilots and a firefighter on board were able to get out of the water unharmed. (i.imgur.com)

Not a pilot, but I feel that might make takeoff and landing more risky though. Long ropes and helicopter rotors dont mix well.

Heli-nerd here. Long lining is actually very common and the recommended way of doing heli lifts. Long lines can vary between 25 feet and 400 feet.
