O.P.I.: Narrative: TSB Report#A14C0171:

The Helicopter Transport Services Bell 407, registration C-GZRN, was transporting an external load using a 100 foot longline. While enroute, the slung load which consisted of two empty collapsible fuel bladders released without warning. The helicopter then returned back to the base without incident. It was reported that an oversized D-ring was used to connect the net to the remote hook. The D-ring began to twist and opened the keeper on the hook.
