It was a failure of the multiple locking mechanisms on the hook holding the load. The sling went with it.
I was not in this accident, but it happened in my battalion before I got there and I saw the wrecked bird. They got too low in the fog and mist, got their sling caught on trees on a mountain slope and it pulled the aircraft to the ground.
