Agreed, excellent piloting... If it had been another pilot you may have witnessed some gore and fatality.. He did pull of a very nice save... Given that it shouldn't have happened in the first place but he is, taking off and landing in the worse possible scenario.

Your feeble mind tells you. No sign of chroma key in this video.

amazing piloting - a lot of presence of mind and a lot of luck, both.

Pilot has skills, the shipping heaving up and down caused the heli to lift off early, any fuckers who doubt his/her skills should get their hands off their dicksticks.

he was lucky. as the heli jumped forward, he increased pitch (raised the nose) in order to "break" ( pretty much the best he could do). however he did so drasticaly that, the tail hit the ground (and I don't think that was his objective) and the tail rotor stopped. with the tail rotor out, the heli started spinning out of control. the spinning of the fuselage also means that the rotor is spinning slower, which drasticaly reduces lift, which lead to the "landing". he was lucky to land on deck

so let's see if I get this... the strap wasn't released, so when the pilot tried to take off, the heli didn't budge. the crew member then released the strap, but when he did it, since the pilot was still ordering the heli to move (or maybe he increased thrust, thinking that's why he wasn't moving) the sudden release of the strap "catapulted" the helicopter. the pilot  was quick to react, but still i guess it's partially his fault...
